Poetry Paper #1

Using the suggestions on page 8 of “Writing about Literature” in Perrine’s, write a paper comparing and contrasting any two poems in the poetry section of the text. (pp 647-1024) Although neither is a comparison/contrast essay, reading the sample papers on pp 46-52 might be helpful. This paper should be a minimum of 500 words, typed and double-spaced. We are going to workshop this paper, so you need to keep to the following schedule:

Poems and topic of paper selected and e-mailed to me – Monday 9/20
Thesis and outline of paper – Thursday 9/24
First draft of paper – Monday 9/27
Second draft – Wednesday 9/29
Final draft – Friday 10/1
