Write a close reading on Buzzards by Jon Loomis (Poem is
attached). Essay should be 3-4 pages. A close reading is the
careful, sustained analysis of any text that focuses on
significant details or patterns and that typically examines some
aspect of the text’s form, craft, meanings, sound, etc...
In your close reading, you will dissect the poems. Be sure to
evaluate not only the meaning of the poems but the strategic
decisions made by the poet that enhance or support the overall
meaning of the collection.
When writing your close reading, utilize the vocabulary or the
“language of poetry” when supporting your claims. For
example: Stanzas, Enjambment, End-Stopped, Line Break,
Closure, Couplets, Metaphor etc… (A glossary of poetry terms
is attached)
Questions to guide you for the essay:
1. What is the theme of the poem? What is the poet trying to
communicate? What is the emotional center of the poem?
2. What happens in the poem? Are conflicts or themes
introduced? Resolved?
3. Who is the speaker? What is the “point of view” or
perspective of the speaker? The perspective might be social,
intellectual, political, or even physical.
4. What is the setting? What is the time and place? How does
the poet make use of the physical description? Does it create a
mood?
5. Are there any key statements or lines that indicate meaning?
Look for one key line or symbol; however, the poet may make
use of recurring symbols, actions, or motifs.
6. How does the sound or language contribute to the poem’s
meaning? Does the rhythm affect what the poet is trying to
convey? What type of diction is used? Are there words with
double meanings?
7. Is there a historical, ideological, or cultural aspect? Does the
poem refer to a world event, period of time, or particular aspect
of culture (race, status, gender, class)? What are the basic ideas
of the world or human condition or experience (love, hate,
orderliness of the universe, etc.)?
8. What qualities or emotions does the poem evoke? How does
the poem make you feel?
9. What imagery is used? Does the poet use physical imagery or
figures of speech, such as metaphors?
MLA Format, 3-4 pages, Times new roman, 12 font
