Harriet Beecher Stowe.

This is the poem I am doing for my Unpack a Poem project and I am glad I chose this one. It is a easy poem to understand and it makes a great deal of sense to me. Paul Laurence Dunbar concisely and eloquently described Stowe's rise to prominence and how she aided in the abolishment of slavery. This poem is a sonnet and the structure of it look very organized. It's written with one line then three lines proceeding under. This occurs throughout the entire poem, with the exception of a few lines near the end. It amazes me how powerful poetry can be if done in such a concise way. I hope to learn more about this poem when I unpack it and hear my classmates insights on it after I recite it.
