The imagery is rich, going so far as to even describe the berries as “savagely sweet,” and writes extensively on the wild tangles and vines of the blackberry bushes. Wilbur describes this cluster of blackberry bushes vividly, commenting on the “brambled” light, the “chalky white flowers, with blooms…

Irving Layton’s “Berry Picking,” and Robert Lowell’s “Water,” are two poems that discuss the flawed nature of human relations by comparing them to the natural world. Imagery of nature and the natural world are used extensively in both poems to show comparisons between nature and relationships, as well as using nature as a contrast to human relationships. The natural world is portrayed as soft, simple and innocent in one poem, however it is viewed a hard and complex in the other. The two poems…

In this week’s module, we learned about Motown Records and its founder Barry Gordy. I believe that Gordy’s vision during Motown’s early years was the driving force behind its phenomenal success.
