both of these poems were in the pinsky anthology i used in my poetry class last semester. i like them both, but the Margaret Atwood one is my favorite poem (probably of all time). i wrote an essay on it for that class actually and i ended up loving it more.

this hardy one though, i really like what he's saying and the poem overall, and i know it probably has something to do with its time period, but i feel like it's cheapened by some of his word choices and sentence structures for the sake of the rhyme scheme.
