One of my favorite poems
"Quarantine" by Eavan Boland
In the worst hour of the worst season
of the worst year of a whole people
a man set out from the workhouse with his wife.
He was walking--they were both walking--north.
She was sick with famine fever and could not keep up.
He lifted her and put her on his back.
He walked like that west and west and north.
Until at nightfall under freezing stars they arrived.
In the morning they were both found dead.
Of cold. Of hunger. Of the toxins of a whole history.
But her feet were held against his breastbone.
The last heat of his flesh was his last gift to her.
Let no love poem ever come to this threshold.
There is no place here for the inexact
praise of the easy graces and sensuality of the body.
There is only time for this merciless inventory:
Their death together in the winter of 1847.
Also what they suffered. How they lived.
And what there is between a man and woman.
And in which darkness it can best be proved.
Boland, Eavan. "Quarantine." Against Love Poetry. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2001.

Tia's poets:
Homer
Langston Hughes
John Keats
Joshua's Poets:
1)Longston Hughes
2)Frank O’Hara
3)Wallace Stevens
Connor has already signed up for Langston Hughes. I don't know if Homer is the best choice either, Tia, but if you truly are interested in Homer, I'll allow it, of course. Please choose someone else besides Langston Hughes though for both of you.
Ms. Peifer
New Choices for Joshua:
1)Frank O'Hara
2)Wallace Stevens
3)Mary Swenson
I've heard of Mary before and I also heard that she has some really interesting poems. Is this true or do you think I should pick someone else since my outlook towards her is absent?
Josh, I don't know much about Mary Swenson. Is she a local poet? If you have heard of her before and you think her poetry is interesting, you should look into her work more.
You could also check out May Swenson. Here is some info on her:
Ranked by Harold Bloom as one of the twentieth century’s three best women poets, MAY SWENSON (1913—1989) was born in Logan, Utah, but spent most of her adult life in New York City. Active as an editor, teacher and critic, she also translated Swedish poetry and wrote many poems for children. Her particular gift was for close observation and sensuous, imagistic description of the physical world. From 1980 to 1989 she acted as Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.

Let me know what you think,
Ms. Peifer
hey guys or ms peifer whats the password for the central2 data base thing .. do you know what I'm talking about if not I'll try and remember to ask tomorrow
Amber,
It depends on which database you are trying to use. Look at your syllabus for the database but change the numbers to match this year (07-08 instead of 06-07). See if that works. If not, I'll double check it tomorrow.
