descriptions of nature that form a very clear
picture in the reader's mind. On first reading,
many of his poems seem to be just a portrayal of
events that occur in nature. However, there is
normally another deeper meaning to the poem,
mostly relating to the human condition. "Birches"
seems at first reading to be a description of how
a line of birch trees beco...

Raised fists and a fading smile usually follow the

loss of our own life as well. When death rears its
ugly head, it demands this response. Whether
through art or science, humor or ritual, mankind
