    During your junior year, we will be studying aspects of poetry. Poetry by poets such as Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Walt Whitman, and others will be analyzed closely. Aspects of poetry such as rhyme scheme, meter, theme, poetic form and the lives of certain poets will also be investigated as a means of enhancing knowledge of poetry and to sharpen critical thinking skills.
