Sylvia Plaths Morning Song
How does the poem youve chosen deal with the problem of loss? What kind or kinds of loss are being described? What tone does the poet take toward the subject? Does the poem itself offer any strategies, explicit or implicit, for dealing with the human fact of loss? If so, what are these strategies? If not, in your opinion, why not? Does the poem have a particular form and/or is it an example of a particular genre or genres? How does the poets specific diction (vocabulary) and methods of formal arrangement (ways of structuring the poem) help convey the emotional resonance of the subject matter?
