1,488 words
Emily Dickinson spent a large portion of he life
in isolation. While others concerned themselves
with normal daily activities, Emily was content to
confine herself to her house, her garden, and her
poetry. Due to her uncommon lifestyle, she was
considered odd and was never respected as the
great poet she is now recognized as. Living life
as an outsider, her poems are written from a
perspective we are not used to seeing in our
popular culture. Even so, her works contain such

FORM AND STRUCTURE Carol Anne Duffy's poem
Adultery is structured in a traditional and
straightforward way. It is comprised of eleven
verses each with the common four lines, which
consist of between four and nine words. This makes
the poem not particularly striking at the first
look, before it is read. The typography does not
attract the readers attention, this is probably
because Duffy wants the reader to concentrate on
the language, and is not concerned with the shape
that the lines form, or h...
