William Heyen/Shoah Train (3 Pages, 35.85 $ (USD) )

A 3 page research paper/essay that examines Heyen's latest volume of Holocaust poetry. Heyen's poetry has frequently focused on the Holocaust. He published his collection The Swastika Poems in 1977, which was subsequently revised and expanded into Erika (1984). His latest volume of Holocaust poetry is Shoah Train, which encompasses more than 70 poems written over the last dozen years (Shoah Train, 2003). A great deal of Holocaust literature has addressed the question of how such evil could have taken place. The Holocaust poetry in Shoah Train does not offer the reader definitive answers, but it does reveal multiple perspectives on human nature and its seemingly engrained propensity toward violence and evil. Heyen's poetry not only illuminates the nature of the evil that was the Holocaust, but also relates this experience to today's world and the continuing legacy left by this world-altering example of what human beings are capable of perpetuating on each other.

The Operative Dynamics of Modern Chinese Poetry (11 Pages, 131.45 $ (USD) )

An 11 page discussion of the linguistic and thematic structure of modern Chinese poetry. Analyzes the poem “Into the Mountains” by Yang Mu to present examples of metaphor, simile, comparison, and personification. This paper emphasizes that essentially modern Chinese poetry relies on the same use of semantics as do Western forms of poetry. Other considerations enter the picture, however, when these poems are translated into English. In this instance, the translator has essentially as much power as the poet in changing subtle components of a poem with the manipulation of the English words which he uses to convey the meaning. While it is useful to analyze the semantics of modern Chinese poetry from an operative structure standpoint therefore, it is perhaps even more useful to analyze this poetry from a thematic standpoint.

Poetry (10 Pages, 119.5 $ (USD) )

25 pages in length. Poetry is the expression of one's very soul. It encompasses a great many emotions, feelings, and desires that can range from one spectrum to the other. Often represented in poetry are rage, love, happiness, sorrow and despair. Poetry is an avenue for the author to release the inner struggles that can be set free through no other means than verse. It can be a catharsis to one's ailing heart as much as it can be a conduit between two otherwise strangers. Poetry is as diverse a means of communication as any medium, yet there are a vast array of elements that make up this very unique and specialized form of writing. The writer will address the many aspects of poetry as they relate to creating the poem. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Jimmy Santiago Baca – “Cloudy Day” (4 Pages, 47.8 $ (USD) )

This 4 page report discusses “Cloudy Day,” a poem by Jimmy Santiago Baca. “Cloudy Day” is the simple telling of a windy, cloudy day in a prison yard. Baca juxtaposes the sense of wind, freedom, and nature with the harsh reality of prison. It is a startling poem in that there is little that is dark or constrained in it despite taking place in a prison yard. Instead, it is surprises the reader that the poet believes he has “everything” under circumstances by which most people would assume he had nothing at all. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Robert Herrick/Analysis of Two Poems (2 Pages, 23.9 $ (USD) )

A 2 page analysis of two poems by the seventeenth century poet Robert Herrick- 'Corinna's Going A-Maying' and 'The Hock-cart.' The writer argues that these two poems can be read simultaneously at three levels. On one level the poems describe the events that help to mark the human year‹the coming of spring and the celebration of the harvest. On the other hand, these events of the human year are reflective of the natural order, the passage of the seasons, and the cyclical nature of time. No additional sources cited.

Comparison of Attitudes Toward Sex and Love as Found in the Ancient Chinese and Egyptian Love Songs and Poems (5 Pages, 59.75 $ (USD) )

This is a 5 page paper comparing the difference in the attitudes toward sex and love in the ancient Chinese and Egyptian love poems and songs. Ancient songs and poetry written around the 1,000 B.C. vary greatly from culture to culture. The Chinese lyric poetry found in “The Book of Songs” tells of lovers and passion which are retrained by honor and of the conservative exchange of gifts during courtship. The lovers are restless but willing to wait to honor the fair and beautiful maidens. Egyptian poetry however, also written around 1,000 B.C. has a completely different style. The themes and words of the poems are much more erotic based and rather than conservative courtship are much more liberal in their attitude toward sex where the women are also active participants. These two different approaches are highly reflective of the Chinese and Egyptian cultures during this time period. The Chinese “Book of Songs” is considered as a text which depicts the morals valued by the Chinese culture while the Egyptian love poems reflect the Egyptian culture at the time where men and women interacted on a more liberal level and their society accepted erotica as found in other artifacts of that time period.

The Metaphysical in the works of Milton and Donne. (9 Pages, 107.55 $ (USD) )

(9pp)According to Sir Herbert J.C. Grierson (1997 ) "Metaphysical poetry, in the full sense of the term, is a poetry which has been inspired by a philosophical conception of the universe and the r?le assigned to the human spirit in the grea t drama of existence. Doesn't that definition sound elegant? When was the last time that you acknowledged your role in the "great drama of existence?" The reason that I mention this is that the study of "metaphysics," is becoming more popular each year. Yet, what we will look at in this discussion is the historic roots of the form as seen through the poetry of John Milton and John Donne. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Poetry: Dickinson And Plath (6 Pages, 71.7 $ (USD) )

6 pages in length. Poetry has long been a much-appreciated art form, in that it allows an individual to express a collage of innermost feelings. It has thrived throughout the centuries, entertaining the likes of kings and rulers, peasants and the general populace. As such, it is curious to think that people should wonder why poetry is such an integral part of human expression. Sylvia Plath and Emily Dickinson understood the motivational factors that poetry innately possesses, inasmuch as each poet directed her distinct style toward that which influenced her most.
