Poetry and Puritanism

  Link

John Berryman, one of the poets we may read this semester, wrote Homage to Mistress Bradstreet, so I thought I'd post a link to my entry on her & her fellow Puritan poets.  The picture above is Ben Shahn's illustration that was on the cover of one edition of this poem.  Unfortunately, I can't find the right size image of that cover, so here is the illustration anyway.

And here's the link to Homage to Mistress Bradstreet:

Which surprising bygone poet would you write an homage to?
