Remember what we learned about how to analyze literature

• Read the poems several times: Reading once only gives you the basics – you will miss a lot!
• Engage with the text: Print and annotate it, or at the very leasttake notes on things you notice (and note where you found those things).You’ll need this information later.
• Keep track of patterns: Do certain words show up a few times? Are there symbols that seem important? Are there repeating ideas?
• Look for “golden lines” – lines that you find particularly beautiful, interesting, or meaningful.
