High-Stakes Essay #2: A Poet’s Focus

Topic: Locate a sampling of THREE or FOUR poems by two other great American Poets, Langston Hughes OR Gwendolyn Brooks. In their bodies of work themes such as dignity, racism, survival, black identity, American identity, giving voice to the marginalized, collective memory are evident. (I have attached them below) For this paper, I am asking that you choose ONE of these poets and analyze how that poet addresses ONE or TWO of these themes.

Requirements

  • Your analysis should be 5-6 pages in length, not including the works cited page.
  • Your paper should reference 3 outside sources
    • 1 source providing biographical and/or historical information as it relates to the poetry
    • 2 sources of critical commentary, wherein literary scholars analyze the work(s) of the poets.

 

Sources should be credible and scholarly. Two useful databases in the York College Library are Academic Search Premiere (EBSCOhost) and JSTOR. You may also search Google Scholar.
