Poems ENGL 215

I enjoyed Carver's Photograph of My Father in His Twenty Second year. I believe what he is expressing is that his father was never really a great father to him. He was an alcoholic and was never there to show him manly things such as fishing. He loves him, but he can't say that hes thankful for who his father was and what his father made Carver to become. Ezra Pound's poem was a lot shorter than expected. Maybe it's about how the atmosphere in a metro station is kind of dull and sad.

  1. A little short, but so were the poems that week. I like how you cut right to the chase about his bad relationship with his father.
