Interdisciplinary Poetry: Hopkins in the 21st Century

In the 21st century, the recognition of the failure of categorization is a prominent subject is any field of study. Interdisciplinary studies are increasingly popular because one category simply is not enough to fully understand and analyze any given topic. … Continue reading →

Hopkins minus religion

In the boxing match this week where it’s me vs. Hopkins, I am most definitely losing. Not only am I 5’0 and harmless, I feel like I’m also at a disadvantage not having much background knowledge in Christianity. Poetry also is not my strong suit to begin with – I don’t think I’m horrible at it, but it’s […]

Romanticism and Music

When we were looking at the poem London, and Professor Mota pointed out the emphasis on hearing in that poem, I began to think about how Romanticism affected music.   What do mind-forg’d manacles sound like? Metallic, probably. And the Romantic … Continue reading →

Now, before the people who are in love with Blake’s poetry burn me at the stake like a little boy lost […]

Racial issue in “the Little Black Boy”

In the poem “the Little Black boy”, Blake carefully chooses the speaker as a child. I think he does this so that when the boy asks questions, it is not considered rude because the little boy is asking the question without the intention of being racist but because he is just purely curious. The child wants to know why “his […]

The worthy words of Wordsworth!

Seriously, try saying that 10 times fast! And now to the point… I absolutely loved reading Wordsworth! He’s been one of my favorite poets since high school, and I think he always will be. I mean Coleridge is okay too… but, you know… Well, reading the Lyrical Ballads this time got me thinking about why […]
