One Art - by Elizabeth Bishop - and Metapoetry

This is by far my favorite poem in the world! It has a lot of ways of interpreting it - and I would love you all to take a stab at it- it is written in a villanelle form - which I will explain at the bottom - after you have tried your hand at that you can go back and do the same with the Lowell poem - and between the two begin to understand Confessional Poetry - this rendition of the poem is from the Poetry Foundation's website
