    Katharyn Howd Machan's Poem 'Hazel Tells Lavern'

    Katharyn Howd Machan's poem, “Hazel Tells Laverne”, humorously ridicules fairytales. The narrator, Hazel, recounts the night of her encounter with a talking frog when cleaning the Howard Johnson's Hotel's bathroom. The frog bargains that a kiss to his nose can turn Hazel into a princess. Hazel reacts to the offer by repeating “me a princess” throughout the poem to emphasize how ridiculous and unrealistic she finds the idea to be. Besides, frogs don't talk. Hazel blatantly declines, and flushes the “little green pervert” (20) three times down the toilet. Hazel ludicrously believes that a woman of her social status can become a princess overnight, especially with the help of a talking frog. The poem suggests realism, not idealism. Fairytales…

    Sandra Lim: Poem Analysis

    Stanford and University of California alumni Sandra Lim reads from The Wilderness on April 7, 2015, at Prairie Lights. As an alumna from the International Writing Program Lim was making her return back to Iowa City after 11 years. In The Wilderness Lim reads a collection of poems about love, spring and one poem that caught my attention was about the individual struggle of one's body within one’s mind. The poems are open to many interpretations but that is the way that I chose to interpret that poetry in particular. The interesting thing about Lim’s poem is how describes the body parts in some of her poems. It is very vague. It almost makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable but at the same time, I really like her style. The way she describes…

    The poem “How I Discovered Poetry” by Marilyn Nelson presents the theme of finding an interest or passion for something. Also another theme that can be wrapped around this poem is the power of words. The speaker is Nelson who is in the classroom while her teacher, Mrs. Purdy is reading from her desk. Mrs. Purdy becomes one of the main influence of her finding her passion for poetry. Mrs. Purdy seems to be a very genuine and loving teacher who cares about her students.

    Summary Of Tina Jones's Poem Tracks

    "Tracks" by Tina Jones made me think about my insecurities and problems I deal with as a woman and a person of color. In her poem she mentioned different levels of discrimination, insecurities and segregation that I could all relate to, but a quote that I related to the most was, "A generation of beautiful black women. Born and bred to believe that beauty belongs to everyone but them, so they dye and fry and try to fit in." Unfortunately, these insecurities that the media and society forces on us are reasons why black women damage their hair and wear weaves to disguise themselves to endeavor the impossible definition of perfection and respect. Without her saying it, I believe she didn't like school and was somewhat scared to go for many reasons.…

    Certainly, one of the goblins’ treachery effects is the loss of the notion of time for Lizzie (V.449) and it previously happened to Laura (V.139). Despite having being attacked by wicked creatures, Lizzie walks home happily. The bouncing of the coin is like a victorious hymn for her, the proof that she has confronted and overcome temptation. She conserves her kind heart and thus her purity and vitality, which make her run home.…

    Maggie Anderson: Poem Analysis

    Maggie Anderson is an American poet and editor with roots in Appalachia. On Wednesday, October 4, 2016, she came into English 360 class to read some of her poems and surprise the class with a group poem activity. She was invited to West Liberty University and did a poetry reading before attending the class, but I was unable to attend that reading. She read two of the poems from the packet the class received ahead of time and also three more from a her book of poems she brought. The class was well behaved and to listen to Anderson read was relaxing. She though she is a soft reader, it was loud enough for the people in the back to hear. Though the temperature in the room is always freezing, listening intently to Anderson’s voice and her poems made one not realize how cold the room was. After the class asked a few good questions and I really enjoyed the in-class session Anderson had the class participate in, it was good practice and also the class applied what we have been learning.…

    Comparing Millay's Poems I, Being Born A Woman And Distressed

    “Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.” (Joyce) Women, when making decisions, or in this case writing poems, are more affected by emotion and events around them. The year 1923 was during an era that brought many new ways in which women were viewed due to the end of the women’s rights movement. The 19th amendment had been passed 3 years prior giving women the right to vote and more of a voice in society. Also around this time, Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote the poem “I, Being a Woman, and Distressed”. The poem and Millay’s personality have a very feminist and independent feel which was against society’s expectations at the time. Millay was impacted by contemporary events when writing her poem and uses diction,…

    Margaret Atwood - relationship between three of her poems.

    Margaret Atwood is a Canadian poet, novelist, and critic, noted for her feminism and mythological themes. She was born in 1939 in Ottawa, about the same time World War 2 started. Her life was lived in a time of male dominance, which she did not like. She expressed her views of this by writing, and her writings showed many of the feminine views that she believes in. According to a reviewer, Atwood's writings are obtained from the "traditional realist novel," where often the female protagonist is representative of an 'everywoman' character, and is victimized by gender and politics. In her stories Atwood combine fantasy and social realism, myth and parody and poetry, and also uses postmodernist devices to unsettle the certainties of traditional realism. The reason why she uses a lot of mythological themes is because her father was a forest etymologist. Many of the experiences that she had when she was a child, influenced her to write about the things of nature. Her writings were praised by many, this can be seen through all the awards and recognitions that she has received throughout her long and productive life. Her most outstanding award would be the Canadian Governor General's Award for poetry in 1966. Her work has been an inspiration to many and she will be recognized for many years to come.…
