你一定知道诗歌是一种重要的文学形式,那你知道诗歌有哪些基本特征吗 它又有哪些类型呢
Poetry is one of the important forms of literature, and is an easy way to express our feelings. Moreover, everyone understands it in his or her own way. Some find relief in poems; some read poems simply for peace; some read poems for simple artistic pleasure.
There are some special features of poetry, which make it quite different from other forms of literature. First of all, poems have rhythmic patterns. Generally most parts of a poem follow the same form of rhythm. Poems may rhyme, but they don’t have to. The lines are neatly arranged together so that they express a particular feeling or emotion.
There can be various types of poems, but according to the pattern or the form, there are mainly three types:
Lyrics:lyrics mainly concentrate on human thoughts and emotions rather than a story.Lyrics always bear song-like appeal.These are mainly short poems. Popular lyric poem forms are the elegy, the ode and the sonnet.William Shakespeare, Edmund Waller and John Keats are some of the greatest lyric writers of all times.
Narrative poems: this type of poetry tells a story.Narrative poems are usually long poems.Epics and ballads fall under this type.Some of the greatest epic poets are John Milton, Dante, Edgar Allan Poe, Alexander Pope, William Shakespeare, etc.
Dramatic poems: any drama that is written in verse is a dramatic poem.These poems generally tell a story.Blank verse, dramatic monologue(独白) and closet drama belong to this type.William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson are some of the greatest dramatic poets.
Whatever the form is, one thing, which cannot be denied, is that poetry is one of the most powerful tools to express our feelings.

Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career, since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris. And on Oct. 8, she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature with the Nobel Prizes first awarded in 1901.
Gluck was honoured for her unmistakable poetic voice that, with simple beauty, makes individual existence universal. “Often said to be an autobiographical poet, drawing from the inner parts of her life, Gluck is not to be regarded as a confessional (忏悔的) poet. She seeks the universal,” Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.
Gluck, 80, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss and isolation(孤独). Because of this, readers have often found her poetry to be “dark”. However, there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. “It is direct and…also a voice full of humour,” he said.
For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end. At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left to feel “the cool wind of the new world” as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Gluck’s poetry, readers being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time.
Although she’s already a well-known writer, experienced in exploring pain and healing (愈合), Gluck did feel honoured to be given the famed Nobel award. However, when asked what the prize means to her, the lyric poet responded by saying, “It’s too new…I don’t know really what it means.” Her only hope is that she can preserve her daily life.
( )1.What do we know about Louise Gluck
A.She had her first collection published in 1993.
B.Her poems are based on life experiences.
C.The Wild Iris won her the Nobel Prize.
D.She is a successful confessional poet.
( )2.What does Olsson think of Gluck’s poems
A.They are too dark for readers.
B.They focus on individual existence.
C.They are frank and humorous in style.
D.They are mainly about human personality.
( )3.Why does the author mention Snowdrops in Paragraph 4
A.To show the features of Gluck’s poetry.
B.To introduce the main plot of this poem.
C.To describe Gluck’s creativity in choosing themes.
D.To explain Gluck’s purpose in writing Snowdrops.
