About Poem Analysis
Why we are the Home of Poetry
With an incredibly talented team of poetry experts, Poem Analysis was created to be the home of poetry online.
Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity
Read poetry by William Wordsworth
Origins
Poem Analysis was created in 2016 to become the largest website on everything about poetry. After looking at how poetry was studied and explored, it was clear there were simply insufficient resources and appreciation for poetry online.
- A lot of people seem to struggle to fully understand poetry.
- There was an intrinsic scarcity of poetry online, especially with diving deep into appreciating poetry.
Poem Analysis was born. We want to share our love and appreciation of poetry with you as much as we can! This has helped contribute to a database of poetry with 5,100 poems analyzed from 1174 different poets and 918 literary terms explained. We know also have Poetry+, which has many exciting and exclusive features, including access to 20,949 Poetry PDFs! You can also check out our reviews here and on TrustPilot.
Along with with this, we have strict site policies to make sure the content we provide around poetry is as good and helpful as can be. You can explore these all below:
We believe having complete transparency of our site policies and how we continue to make Poem Analysis the online hub for poetry analysis, learning, and all things poetry, will provide assurances to all users and help us keep moving forward in the right direction

Why we love what we do

When I was young and in the USAF during Vietnam I worked in the area of Aeromedical Evacuation. I worked long hours under extreme conditions but when it was time for takeoff or landing I was in my crew seat. I spent that time in different ways. Sometimes I would try to calculate in my head the speed of the plane by watching the runway markers every thousand feet and time on my watch. One day when I was not working but on crew rest, I found a book in the Salvation Army Store. That was the best dime I ever spent. The book was entitled “Old English Poets” and became my focus during takeoffs and landings. My favorite poem was this one. I had two other favorites, “Oh Margaret” also by Hopkins and “When I was one and twenty” by A.E. Housman.

I memorized those poems and managed to keep my book with me for reference over the next 30 years or so before it became lost because of life and time. Now, this morning I was trying to recite it to myself and I had lost a line or two. That led me to the computer and this site, for which I am grateful. Well done.
Life is so short and at times can be brutal. I find at my age, state of health and state of loneliness that remembering those old poems and the old friends who wrote them improves my spirit. Thank you so much.
