Poetry is an art form that allows the poet to present his or her interpretation of the world around him or her. As American poet Ezra Pound once said, "Literature does not exist in a vacuum." Examine the poems of one poet and explain how his or her writing developed over the course of his or her life. Contrast the ways in which his or her style, poetic devices, language, and themes were expressed in his or her poems.

The poems chosen were the poems written by Edgar Alan Poe.

Explanation:

Poe's poems express a certain sadness, melancholy and hopelessness. It may seem a little morbid and discouraging, but the poet had an incredible ability to express sadness in his art and make it beyond palatable, stimulating, romantic and passionate.

Poe's writing has evolved over time and although it expresses extreme melancholy it can help us better deal with our sorrows, through art and interpretation.

His work is full of metaphors that intensify all sentimentality and express the poet's soul. His poems are romantic and extremely subjunctive, stimulating the reader's imagination and expression of senses.
