| | Poetry of the United States |
| | Bradstreet is, in fact,one of the earliest known women poets in English. | | | Williams was to become exemplary formany later poets because he, more than any of his peers, contrived to marry spoken American English with free verse rhythms. | | | Other poets of the era, such as ArchibaldMacLeish (1892 - 1982), experimented with modernisttechniques but were also drawn towards more traditional modes of writing. |

| | The Sonnet in American Literature |
| | The twentieth century poet [is unwilling] to wait for a sublime subject before using the sonnet form, and. | | | The best answer to the first question is the long list of two hundred and three American poets who have used the sonnet form, and the formidable number of sonnets they wrote. | | | Such a statement of American sonneteers and their sonnets as will be found in the following pages suggests a comparison with the body of sonnet material in English literature during the corresponding period. |

| | Criticism of a D.H. Lawrence essay |
| | D.H. Lawrence, the English author and poet, believed in a 'life of the senses' and touted that natural instincts should be revitalized. | | | This could be considered begging the question: the reader is assumed to take Lawrence at his word and believe with blind faith that the statement is correct. | | | There is still another contradiction, pulled from the same quote as the previous example: while explaining how Europeans and Americans are alike, Lawrence claims that there is "nothing spontaneous," but when we read his closing paragraph, we find him outlining and praising Whitman's spontaneity incessantly. |

| | Poetry |
| | With metaphorical writing, poets are able to eliminate an overused description like, 'My summer was fun." Instead, they can say 'my summer was a barometer,' or 'my summer was a glance at the moon.' Metaphors create images and comment on how people live their lives. | | | In the poem on the right, the poet writes about the stones as though they are people having thoughts, giving answers, and wearing clothes. | | | I have chosen at least three poems by poets that are listed in the study |
