Imagine you are the senior editor of an academic publishing firm that is putting out a new anthology of 19th century American poetry. To your surprise, you find that your favorite poem from this course has been omitted from this anthology. Write a compelling letter to the editor of the volume, arguing for the importance of the poem you select to the American poetic tradition. Your essay should emphasize both what is remarkable about this particular poem and why it is crucial for an understanding of 19th century American poetry, placing it in the context of some of the other works on the syllabus (be as specific as possible when comparing it to other poems we have read).
