Imagery/Simile “The snow did not fall this time, it simply spilled out of heaven, like thousands of feather-beds being emptied” (60). “The snow did not fall this time, it simply spilled out of heaven, like thousands of feather-beds being emptied” (60).

Seasons… “When spring came, after that hard winter, one could not get enough of the nimble air. Every morning I wakened with a fresh consciousness that winter was over” (77). “When spring came, after that hard winter, one could not get enough of the nimble air. Every morning I wakened with a fresh consciousness that winter was over” (77). “July came on with that breathless, brilliant heat which makes the plains of Kansas and Nebraska the best corn country in the world” (89). “July came on with that breathless, brilliant heat which makes the plains of Kansas and Nebraska the best corn country in the world” (89).

Nature Personified; Characters “naturified” Jim recalling Antonia: “Her neck came up strongly out of her shoulders, like the bolt of a tree out of the turf” (79). Jim recalling Antonia: “Her neck came up strongly out of her shoulders, like the bolt of a tree out of the turf” (79).

The prairie-grass dividing, its special odor breathing, I demand of it the spiritual corresponding, Demand the most copious and close companionship of men, Demand the blades to rise of words, acts, beings, Those of the open atmosphere, coarse, sunlit, fresh, nutritious, Those that go their own gait, erect, stepping with freedom and command, leading not following, Those with a never-quell’d audacity, those with sweet and lusty flesh clear of taint, Those that look carelessly in the faces of Presidents and governors, as to say Who are you? Those of the earth-born passion, simple, never constrain’d, never obedient, Those of inland America.

Found poem Considerations: Weather, seasons, moodiness, wild vs. cultivated, sensory images, etc. Poetic style- repetition, line breaks (enjambment), dramatic pause (caesura); consider the expansiveness of language
