What have you learned about the art and craft of poetry, its appeal and the critical approaches that a reader might take to it, that you had not understood or realized before starting the reading? That is, what discoveries did you make from the reading? What surprised or enlightened you? Refer to specific poems where relevant.

Familiarize yourself with some of the critical approaches a reader might use when working with a text (taking notes to retain what you need to remember):

-first read pages 1906-1908, which will introduce you to the subject;

-then read “Emphasis on the Text,” pages 1908-10;

-then read about “Biographical Criticism,” pages 1914-16, “Psychoanalytic Criticism, pages 1916-17, “Reader-Response,” page 1920, and “Cultural Studies,” pages 1928-29.
