read several (somewhat) younger poets: Rita Dove, Yusef Komunyakaa (read especially ‘My Father’s Love Letters’ for its powerfully evocation of emotion), Natasha Trethewey, Terrance Hayes, and Jericho Brown (read ‘Bullet Points’ but don’t make that the only one you mention). your reflection only has to refer to one poem by each of them.
You can talk about more, but talk about at least one by each of these five poets. Please find, read, and think about 5 poems by each of these five poets. Your reflection should refer to at least one poem by each of the poets. Your reflection can address each separately, but even better, maybe make some comparison-contrast kind of observations; and if you can, try to say something about the WAY the poet has composed the poem — form, rime, rhythm, metaphors, tone, type of language.
All can be found at The Poetry Foundation website; please also read the bios and other material that might accompany the poems. And remember that if you use anyone else’s ideas or language in your reflection, you need to cite that source.
use quotations from the poems to support general statements about the poet or a particular idea of yours. AND please offer any personal connection/response/feeling/memory that a poem evokes in you.
