I have to write an essay on a poem...I'm struggling with finding a topic?

I'd write four pages that relate the strange title to the poem. They don't seem to have any to do with each other at first glance. That would be specific enough for your teacher, and at the same time it would let you quote pretty much anything from the poem and expound on it easily. Why are words misspelled? I don't know. That's up to you. But what does Graham mean by "forced sights?" Address "forced" first. Everything is harder for animals in winter. Vision is strained in the search for food in the "endless evenness," "the stenchfree cold." What about "trusty fearfulness?" Well, in such an unforgiving environment, animals are better off afraid. They must trust their fear of death* to motivate them into preparation beforehand, as told by the last three verses. (*Death and winter are often interchangeable symbols.)
