A Streetcar Named Desire is one of Tennessee Williams' most famous plays. Not only is it simply iconic and memorable (i.e.: Steeellllaaa!!!!!) but it paints the world as it was then and how it is now.

The Harlem Renaissance was a powerful time of reclamation for not only African American writers and poets, but for African Americans as a whole. It took the definition of renaissance literally - it was a rebirth for those to find their pride and their courage to be and make whatever they chose their own. Poems have never been easy for me to read. It often takes about twenty read-throughs in order to really grasp the idea of what the poet is trying to convey, and hey – why can’t they just use normal words? You can guess I was a little off-put when my class started out with analyzing poetry.
But thank goodness for Modernist poetry. In reading Writing the Nation, I was so happy to see that, in the biographies of the poets, all their rejections of old poetry. Marianne Moore even said it herself: “I too, dislike it: there are things important beyond all this fiddle.” |
