In the late 19th/early 20th centuries, Robinson wrote several series of poems, many of which are sonnets featuring fictional characters such as Richard Cory, Luke Havergal, Cliff Klingenhagen, Reuben Bright, Aunt Imogen, Annandale, Miniver Cheevy, and other fictional characters inhabiting a fictitious town in real Maine. You will be provided with copies of poems we will read and discuss.
