William Wordsworth Believed in creating one’s own reality: “Pre-life” Ideal Realm – one with nature, imagination, wonder and awe Real World – harsh and feared, nature is against us, reality embraced Childhood Adulthood IMAGINATION REFLECTION

D.Used concrete stories from life E.Emotion + Tranquility = Poetry F.Created MAJOR change in poetry 1.In England: Most important poet 2.In America: Influenced Emerson & Thoreau

Emotion + Tranquility = Poetry Steps - 1.Have emotions about an experience in your life. 2.Leave and go be at peace with yourself and your emotions. 3.Return to the place of your experience so that you fully appreciate the experience. 4.You are then able to write poetry. Summary: Have an experience; feel it and live it. Walk away and think about it. Return to it (either in mind/body)…then, write it.
