Main Claims
William Carlos Williams’ This Is Just to Say is a sweet love poem
almost in a post-it note form to his wife where he apologizes for taking the plums
all for himself and expresses how much he enjoyed them in an attempt to convey
how much their marriage means to him. In E.E
Cummings’ 1(a, he cleverly arranged
the letters to spell l(a leaf falls)oneliness, in other words, a leaf falls within the word
loneliness. Ezra Pound’s In a Station
of the Metro he expresses his experience of an underground railroad in
Paris and how the people he sees faces’ he
compares to flowers on a tree branch.
