Hello! Ok, we're going to start with Robert Frost, and poems of his from A Boy's Will and North of Boston. I think his poems are more easily understood than Emily Dickinson's. We'll do more than just type it out here and see what we can wring from it. When I read the poem, I'm going to consider a lot of things. Who was it written to? Why was it written? When or what time? What's the meaning? Is it based on an actual place? If so, where? Is there anything we can learn here, not just morally or emotionally, but rather, something specific about what the author is saying?

In your comments, discuss all this with me so we can get something out of it together. We'll see if we can't comprehend these poems and whether or not the writer's intent and meaning we're conveyed to us.

Also, keep in mind, we might also have to do some research on the writer. Sometimes we can find clues or answers about a poem in their own history of course. So their past will be speculation for us as well.
