Please respond to the following for each of the poems assigned this week:

Collins’ “Introduction to Poetry”

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46712/intro…

In one sentence, please explain what you believe is Collins’ intention with this poem. Then, explain in 3-4 sentences how he uses hyperbole, personification, and metaphor.

For Neruda’s “Poetry”

http://www.doctorhugo.org/synaesthesia/neruda.html

The first line of the poem, translated, is “And it was at that age…poetry arrived”

Substitute something in your life that changed your perspective, your life, your goals, your friendships, your relationships, and then follow it through the rest of the poem. In 2-3 sentences, please indicate what you substituted and how it has shaped you into you are today.

For Bishop’s “One Art”

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47536/one-a…

There is a progression from the beginning of the poem to the end, in terms of what Bishop has lost. Similar to “The Things They Carried,” please write in 3-4 sentences, why this progression is organic for the underlying themes of this poem. Please quote directly from the poem. Why, in a repetitive form of villanelle, is Bishop encouraging her audience to lose things, people, places, on purpose?

For Cummings’ “In Just”
