Keats/The Land of Dreams
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page essay/analysis of several of poems by John Keats. The writer argues that while Keats did not speak often of "dreaming" in a literal sense, i.e. the activities of the subconscious mind while asleep, "dreaming" as in the activity of the imagination while awake, i.e. the "daydream" -- the ability of the individual to "dream" of goals or the attainment of some heart's desire -- this aspect of "dreaming" played a pivotal role in his worldview. Poems include On looking in to Chapman's Home, Sleep and Poetry, On seeing the Elgin Marbles, The Eve of St. Agnes, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, Ode to Melancholy, Ode to a Grecian Urn, Ode to a Nightingale and To Autumn.

Keats/To Autumn & Ode to a Grecian Urn
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page essay that analyzes Keats' "To Autumn" and "Ode to a Grecian Urn," with a primary focus on "To Autumn." It is Keats' rich use of language that pays tribute to this season. As the poem progresses, Keats piles up sensory images in much the same way as a farmer piles up his harvest. An examination of this poem, in comparison with another poem that exemplifies Keats' style, the famous "Ode to a Grecian Urn" reveals Keats' optimistic outlook, a perspective that found meaning in the ordinary events of life, as well as in great art.

Langston Hughes & Raymond Carver
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares the work of African American poets Raymond Carver and Langston Hughes, who are separated by decades, but nevertheless shares similarities in that both poets favored an abbreviated style that employed an economy of words. Each poet favored choosing the precise image that would conjure understanding in the reader and reference the rich tapestry of common human experience. Their work differed in that Hughes, writing in the early part of the twentieth century, was more concerned with issues of equality and civil rights. However, analysis of their work shows that each man, in his own definitive style, drew upon what it means to be human in order to make his point. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page review of Liz Rosenberg's Happy Eyes, which is a collection of extraordinary prose poems.

As the reader delves into the Rosenberg's world, this meaning becomes clearer. Using the tools of poetry, metaphor, lyrically descriptive phrases and the natural rhythm of words, Rosenberg offers prose vignettes that perfectly capture a moment in time.

Logopoeia/Pound & Eliot
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page essay that contrasts and compares the principle of logopoeia in Ezra Pound's Canto II and Eliot's The Waste Land. Ezra Pound defines the poetic term "logopoeia," as "'the dance of the intellect among words'" (Pound How to Read 939). By this Pound means that words not only have a direct surface meaning, but the poet also takes into account connotations and "special habits of usage" (Pound How to Read 939). Logopoeia is so vocabulary specific that it cannot be translated, but Pound feels that the attitude of mind that it expresses may be convened in another tongue through a paraphrase, although he seems to feel that this is not likely. This poetic term applies aptly to Pound's Cantos and to T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Examination of Canto II and Eliot's masterpiece demonstrates the essence of logopoeia, as each work has complex imagery, which presents complex and multi-layered meaning that requires not only a detailed knowledge of English, but also a detailed background in English and classical references. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
