Ammons & Roethke/A Comparison

Abstract: A 5 page essay that compares and contrasts 2 poems by A. A. Ammons ("The Damned" and "Anxiety's Prosody") and 2 by Theodore Roethke ("I Knew a Woman" and "The Waking"). The writer argues that while both poets have a "conversational" style, they naturally approach the language according to their own unique talents. The writer contrasts style, themes and imagery.
