So...there are eight poems in cluster 1.
It has been decided that the absolute minimum biographical detail you are going to know about these poets is their nationality.
Task
Create thirty postings (one each) of all the poem titles, poets and their nationalities without repeating the form, appearance and structure of any of the previous posts.
or
Post your findings here. Each posting should look different from all the previous ones.
Everyone should type the text out and spend a few minutes playing with the appearance of the text.
At the very least this will mean you will spend some time with the required knowledge.
Your knowledge of this knowledge will be tested on Thursday.
