Individual Poet Project: Intro

Over the past month or so, our class has been working on a variety of poetry-themed projects. One of these was the Individual Poet Project, in which each of us as students selected a contemporary American poet and basically immersed ourselves in his/her life and work, focusing specifically on one (non-compilation/"selected works"-type) book by that author.
The project evolved in its details as we progressed, and ended up consisting of four papers:
1. An analysis of a shorter poem from the selected volume of poetry
2. A biography of our chosen author.
3. Another poem analysis, this time focusing on the poem relates to the overall book and its themes.
4. A final, more detailed review of the volume.

To fulfill the details of this assignment, I'll be posting slightly revised versions of all four papers on this blog for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!
