'Decome Et Decorum\r'

'â€Å"Heartland” writ decennary by Linda Hogan has underlying messages a reader must carefully pay financial aid to in order to fully deduct the poem. Hogan describes â€Å"metropolis Poems” as her analysis of urban center career and how she assesss it which terminate come out complex when reading her poem.
