what form of writing is it when an author uses the same paragraph at the end of a poem as he used in the start

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

elio asked:

what is that method of litterature called? the author repeats the same paragraph in the beginning as in the end. it’s almost like a round in music. the said author is Roch Carrier and the story is called L’encre. it’s in french, but i’m sure it can be translated if need be.

Who is the author of the poem “Blessed Be” and where can I find the poem?

Kate L asked:

My mum’s aunt died this morning, and part of her request for the funeral service was to have the poem “Blessed Be” read out. We haven’t been able to find it anywhere, because as far as we know, the author is “Anon”. Anyone have any idea who the author actually is, or where we could find this poem?

Where can i find a poem about violation of human rights written by an author of the same country?

z. asked:

I need a poem about violation of human rights in a country.
However, the author of the poem needs to come from the country the poem is written about.
It can be any country, modern or recent. Also, the poem needs to be assessable in a book.

What is the name of a poem where the author talks about someday I will see my corn lined up in a row?

self_addressed_stamped_envelope asked:

I am trying to find the title and author of a poem I read in high school. The author talks about someday he will be at a place (cabin?) where he will see his corn growing, all in a row?

Sorry, but this is all I can remember of it and it is driving me nutty trying to remember. I want to say it was a 19th century poet (Whitman or Thoreau, maybe?)
