Adrienne Rich And Aunt Jennifers Tigers And The Darkling...

In poetry, there are many poems that stand out to the readers for many different reasons, whether it be the poem’s overall message or being able to relate personally with the poem, which causes the reader to remember that poem and deem the poem â€Å"worth knowing†.
