Family Portrayals in "A Ballad Of Remembrance" - How Robert Hayden Dealt with His "Greatest Discouragement" by Wiebke Formann PDF Summary

Book Description: Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald, course: American Poetry, 16 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Poets are artists and therefore very creative people. But their artistic faculty does not - in most cases - conjure out of nothing. Poets are influenced by many different things.

To fully understand the emotions of Robert Hayden and his attitude towards his foster-parents and his mother I will - in the first chapter - provide a depiction of his youth and his relationship between him and his natural parents and foster pare
