Do you feel that a consolidated approach to verse is exemplified by the above titles?
From what you can gather from the titles, would you say that the emphasis was being
placed on direct experience, or would you think that the poets concerned are merely
working with formal matters, the titles of which are arbitary?
They are the titles of books of verse by American poets.
The following is taken from one of the books whose title is mentioned.
"Then I can finish the rest of the wine,
write poems till I'm drunk again,
and when the afternoon breeze comes up
I'll sleep until I see the moon
and the dark trees
and the nibbling deer
and hear
the quarrelling coons."
Lw Welch. Hermit Poems.
How fair, even as a generalization do you think it would be to say:-
"Writing poetry is one of the many activities of an American Poet."
