You
will choose your poem from Literature Poems. The poems are located in your
textbook. This is a 2-3 page, minimum 5-7 paragraphs, MLA formatted paper on
the poem you have chosen from the list provided. Again, the 2-3 pages refers to
the body of the paper, and not the Works Cited page. The poems listed are all
found in your literature textbook. I would advise choosing a poem that you
enjoy. You are to give a biography on the poet, a short summary detailing what
the poem is about, and then critique the poem either line by line, or stanza by
stanza depending on the length of the poem. In other words, a short poem is
critiqued line by line, while a lengthy poem would be critiqued stanza by
stanza. Do NOT include the poem, or write it out. That is not needed. When
critiquing refer to the poem as line 2 states, or stanza 3
states. At least 3 references from the above mentioned Polk State databases
must be cited on
