    in conceptualizing rural life. His work commonly used the monstrous theme of death and nature‚ using the setting of each piece to examine complex philosophical and social subject matters. The poems I chose to analyze are “The Vanishing Red”‚ “Home Burial”‚ and “Death of a Hired Man.” Each poem exhibits the theme of “death” in their own way as a result of the differences in setting and through introduction of specific characters.
