Match the 5 Poets to Their Lifespans

Click the 5 poets and 5 date pairs to match the authors with their correct birth and death dates. Afterwards, you will be able to listen to some of their poems or learn more about them.

In the list below, you'll see each poet's birth and death years, followed by their approximate age at the time of death. Please note that the age is calculated based solely on the birth and death years, so it may not be 100% accurate, especially if the poet was born or died late or early in the year. For dates marked as "c." (circa) or "BCE" for ancient times, an exact age calculation isn't possible, and we've indicated this with "Approximate Age."

This information aims to provide helpful context on each poet's life span and the era in which they lived.
