I need help on choosing a topic for a College English research paper.?

The assignment is to choose a poet and write an 8-10 research paper. The essays must incorporate a close reading of poetry as well as a discussion of the literary criticism on the poems/poets discussed in the essay. Any ideas on a good poet to write about?

The poet should be Robert Frost, and the poem Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening.





For Robert Frost information: 1. Go to: "Research your answer (after "Know your source? List it here:") on your question page. 2. Type in: Robert Frost/Information/Details?





For a copy of the poem: 1. Go to: "Research your answer" on your question page. 2. Type in: Poetic challenge using Frost's 'Stopping by Woods...--Mosaic musings...", an entry on page one of headings offered. 3. Go under QUOTE. It's displayed there.





For a critque of the poem: 1. Go to: "Research your answer" on your question page. 2. Type in: Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening/Information/Details? 3. Go to: "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening--Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia," an entry listed among the headings offered on page one.
Reply:Joy harjo is a very interesting poet! It would be so easy to write 10 pages on her.
Reply:Edgar Allen Poe and Shakespeare are famous...
