All right, I'm finally going to begin posting this. It's a project I've been working on for awhile: the attempt to annotate Hopkins' The Wreck of the Deutschland, to the point that more people might actually make sense of it.
First, it might be a good idea to read the poem, although I will post each stanza as I explain it.
I'd really like feedback on this project, because I'm hoping to improve and expand it with time. If anything I write is unclear, if I left anything unexplained, or if you disagree with my explanations, please tell me!
Stanzas 1-2
Stanzas 3-5
Stanzas 6-8
Stanzas 9-10
Stanzas 11-12

Good for you! I will try to read well and make useful remarks...
Thanks! I'm counting on you, because I'm not sure if anyone else will have the stamina to read through it ... :P
Thanks for this commentary. We have a Catholic Authors Book Group here in Hood River, Oregon ; and we are reading Exiles , a recent novel about Hopkins and his poem.
