He celebrates the formal and cultivates the science of poetry, though he believes the degree of spiritual refi nement in the voice distinguishes the poet. His poems revel in the concrete and he believes in the poem as object. He advocates a natural voice, the primacy of the idea and the...

A simile compares (usually introduced by like or as) two things that are generally not alike--such as a line of migrant workers and a wave, or onion...
