all the poems in Prufrock and Other Observations exist on a spectrum from "city streets and nighttime" to "women" and that spectrum is secretly just The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock really stretched out
Most poets write the same poem over and over. Wallace Stevens was honest enough not to try to hide it. Frost’s statement that he tried to make every poem as different as possible from the last one is a way of saying that he knew it couldn’t be.
