Exploring the Contrasts: Prose Poems and Dramatic Monologues in Contemporary Poetry

4 double-spaced pages
Use two poems each to chart the differences between a prose poem and a dramatic monologue . You may write on Cyn. Zarco’s “In Memory of Forgetting”, Sonia Sanchez’s “A Letter To Dr. Martin Luther King”, Silvia Plath’s “Lady Lazarus”, Colleen J. McElroy’s “ The Dragon Lady Considers Dinner”.
Two poems are a prose poems and two are dramatic monologue. Compare and Constrast the prose poem to the dramatic monologue. As well as comparing the themes and styles of all four poems. 
I attatched pictures of all of the poems except Sylvia Plath’s “Lady Lazarus” which you can find online for free.
