I listened to "Idaho" by Gary Edwards. He presented this poem on 1.15.24. I like this poem because it is about his home - Idaho. It seems as if he left and then returned. It is interesting to me what people consider a "home." He describes ordinary things - bees buzzing, hills rolling, rivers, lakes, birds flying, frogs etc, but he only considers this particular view to be "home" - even though these elements clearly exist elsewhere. Repetition is used in the poem to drive the message that only "Idaho" is his home. He repeats the state name several times, and it is the thing that I most remember from listening to the poem.

Now do one for emily dickison

I read the poem "Because I could not stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson on 1.15.24. This poem is one of my favorites by Dickinson because of its unique perspective on death. In the poem, Death is personified as a gentleman who kindly stops to pick up the speaker in his carriage. The journey they take together is described as a peaceful and reflective one, with the speaker observing familiar sights such as a school, fields of grain, and the setting sun. This poem challenges the traditional views of death as something to be feared, instead portraying it as a gentle and inevitable part of life. Dickinson's use of imagery and personification creates a sense of calm and acceptance surrounding the topic of death, making this poem a thought-provoking and memorable piece.
