Poetry Comparison/Snyder and Creeley
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that contrasts and compares poems by Robert Creeley and Gary Snyder. The writer argues that in Creeley's "I Know a Man," he demonstrates the shallowness of consumerism as an answer to life's problems. Snyder, on the other hand, in "Riprap" and "Mid-August at Sourdough Mountain Lookout," takes a more naturalistic approach, focusing on the contrast between the grandeur of nature and the inconsequential nature of human existence in comparison. While vastly different in context and tone, the stark imagery of each poem shows that the poets are not dissimilar in their consideration of thematic material as they both endeavor to demonstrate the nature of modernity. No additional sources cited.

Poetry: Concrete And Abstract Language
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. To define the difference between concrete and abstract language as they relate to poetry, the student will note that the fundamental distinction between the two is that one is based in reality and the other has its origins in ambiguity. Examining the poems of Elizabeth Bishop, Amy Lowell and John Keats finds that the two divergent literary approaches are employed as a means by which to reach the same conclusion, however, it is the path that leads to this conclusion that stands to separate. Poets use concrete language when they seek a more literal approach to expression; abstract language, on the other hand, is utilized when the writer is looking to convey a more esoteric thought.
