Q:   A few weeks ago I asked for your help on a T.S. Eliot paper I was working on. Thanks to your valuable assistance, I'm happy to say that I got an A from a notoriously tough professor. Wheee!
   This time the assignment is a little different, and I'm back with my hat in my hand for more of your studied guidance.  My mission is to explicate a Wallace Stevens poem.
   I'd like to know:  a) your opinion on the steps involved in explicating a poem;  b) the definition of primary research; and c) where I can get information helping me understand, define and discuss the structure of a poem -- stanzas, length, why it rhymes or why it doesn't, etc.
