Shakespeare
Perhaps it's too obvious, but there is Auden's "The Sea and the Mirror"
which is specifically on THE TEMPEST

Shakespeare
Type 'shakespeare' into the search box at www.johnbradburnepoems.com and
you'll find quite a few celebratory references. Or use advanced search
under the thematic heading 'Shakespeare'. He also plays quite a bit with
character names, e.g. Quickly. One sequence shows a conversion from
Bacon to Shakespeare.

Shakespeare
To mark the 300th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, the Bengali poet
Rabindranath Tagore wrote a sonnet in tribute to Shakespeare. A
translation of this sonnet may be found in the collection "I Will Not
Let You Go & Other Poems" by Ketaki Kushari Dyson, published by Bloodaxe
Books. Sadly, I personally think that the qualities of Tagore's verse
remains particularly resistant to translation.

Shakespeare
Delmore Schwartz: Gold Morning, Sweet Prince. Also, a version of
Coriolanus. There's Auden's midrash on The Tempest-- The Sea and the
Mirror. Edwin Arlington Robinson's Ben Jonson Entertains a Man from
Stratford is my favorite.

Shakespeare
Jonson also writes a poem on Shakespeare, Tim. It depends on what you
mean by "poem" and "critique," too, I suppose: is _West Side Story_ one
or the other? Or the Japanese staging of _Hamlet_? or the recent British
rap-version of Romeo and Juliet?
What about other genres? I remember a long-ago cartoon in which a man
and a woman together in bed were joined by his/her/their Dalmatian. The
man, obviously other wise occupied, was pointing his finger angrily at
the open bedroom door. The caption read, "Out, damned Spot!" On the
other hand, _Kiss Me Kate_ was a memorable 20th century
re-interpretation of _Taming of the Shrew_ . . . _Dead Poets Society_
was centered around a production of _Midsummer Night's Dream_--and so on.
I think you need to explain your approach/synopsize your thesis/narrow
this in some way to make it clear what sort of "poem" and "critique"
you're looking for. (For example-does Ernest Jones' "The Oedipus-Complex
as an Explanation of Hamlet's Mystery: A Study in Motive," The American
Journal of Psychology 21.1 [January, 1910]: 72-113, or _Hamlet and
Oedipus_ [New York: Norton, 1949] qualify?) Otherwise, you are going to
be inundated with responses, many of which will be irrelevant.
The project sounds like an interesting one. Best of luck with it!
