Topic for my poetry essay.
For my poetry essay, I plan on writing on the poem/song by Bob Dylan, "Mr.Tambourine Man." I found this poem quite fascinating, and saw something in it I think few have, which ties in with my thesis. I intend to prove that this poem is actually talking living with depression and the hardships that come from it. Many people speculate if Dylan actually suffered from chronic depression, as the science of the time was nowhere near as refined as it is now. But, I can see a lot of evidence for that in this poem, and I wholly intend to prove it so.

Sadly, I don't know much of Bob Dylan's music. But I'm sure depression was seen much differently in his day than ours. I'm reminded of all the anti-depressant options available today and which are debatable in some cases.
