Autobiographical Nature in the Writings of Five Well Known Poets

Among the five writers I chose, they were all related to the materials they wrote. The writers I chose were poets Robert Frost and Robinson Jeffers, prose writers, Mary Wilkins Freeman and Willa Cather, and playwright Eugene O'Neill. In all their works, they are autobiographical and tell the readers about their own lives. In Robert Frost's poem, this aspect of revealing his life through writing is not because he is depicting his life, but rather it is the opposite. .

Maya Angelou is an autobiographer, poet, and script writer. She is one of the most highly regarded black writers in the 20th century and she inspires a lot of people to follow their style. Her direct and sincere sentences fascinated the reader. Her prose writing six popular autobiographical novels, such as "Why do I know the song of a bird in the cage?", Through his autobiography, the greater theme that exists in a literary novel and the honesty of my life It combines. Angelou's poetry uses standard English and African-American English to make the reader persuasive. Her work includes built-in calls and responses, a style that creates verbal or quiet dialogs between the speaker and the listener, giving the audience room to call and bark the listener. In addition, Angelou uses dialects of the eyes when the author uses the spelling of different words to convey a specific, sometimes unique pronunciation.

When her editor Robert Loomis challenged her to write "Caged Bird", Angelo considered herself a playwright and a poet, but she is best known for her autobiography It was. Many readers of Angelow considers her as the first poet and the second thinks he is a autobiographer, but like Lynn Z.

Critic William Sylvester agreed, saying that her book was always the best seller, but her poem was not "seriously criticized". Bloom also believes Angelo's poetry is more fun when she recites. Bloom says that her performance is "characteristically dynamic", and Angelo "acts vigorously, strengthens the rhythm of the line, the tone of the words, her singing and dancing, predictable words and phrases Exciting stage performance beyond "

She was a poet and playwright, but in 1969 she founded Caged Bird and gained international recognition and recognition. Many of her readers believe that she is the first poet and the second autobiographer, but her essay is better known. She published several poems and had the same success as a poet.
