dear friends, I need a poem of 19th or 20th century, and I wanna apply 'new criticism' approaches on that, i'd be thankful if you could suggest me a rather long poem.

thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by "new criticism" but "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti is a fairly long poem.

If you need a long poem I would suggest reading, "Paterson" By William Carlos William.

It is an epic poem about the first industrial city of America built by Alexander Hamilton.

I 2nd the Raven. Also, T.S. Eliot's the Wasteland is a great one.

How about The Second Coming by Yeats? It's not a long poem, but it has layers upon layers of interpretation and subtext. Then again, you could just go for Evangeline by H.W. Longfellow; it's as close to an epic as a poem can get.
