This class gave me a greater appreciation of how much
thought poets put into their poems. I had always understood that each word
choice had a specific purpose and meaning, but I never thought that something
as simple as the amount of words in a line or the shape the words make on the
page, could be an attempt by the poet to further expand on his/her idea. I
never would have imagined before this class, that “l(a” by E. E. Cummings could
have so much meaning behind its seemingly random assortment of letters. I have
a love of poetry, and I feel this class has allowed me to see poems in an
entirely new light, and discover previously hidden secrets among their verses.
