The Father of Poetry


Philip Freneau as a lot of Americans called him the “Father of Poetry” was a poet that is not praise in now days. The re-evaluation to his hard work it is hardly criticize as a quantitative, by saying that his work was more like a blah-blah-blah instead of quality. Yes, even though he died in 1832 people are struggling in taking that tittle away from him. Apparently he was conservative in using his literature tools ,specially the stanzas that had to be perfect. His best was in “Florio to Amanda”, a combination of telling a story with a lyric impression. During his time his praise was highly adored but now people are starting to think more deeply. Philip was born in New York and went to school in New Jersey. Thank you Philip for bringing us poetry to our country.
