some poems we've (briefly) mentioned

Hey there, all.

Ok, well, the amazing depth of our discussions has precluded discussion of some poems--and now I'm going to go and add MORE poems to the list. I'm including links to these, too:

1. "Moonrise," the Hopkins poem that Helen recited for us today:

2. "To Eva Descending the Stair," which is a Sylvia Plath villanelle:

3. "The Skylight," which is a beautiful Seamus Heaney sonnet:
