The research is aimed to find how to read poems structurally. In this paper, the writer studied about Structuralism Approach Based Analysis of American Poems. During this research, the writer collected the data from American poems and chose three poets: Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Robert Frost, as unit analysis. The writer reads the poetry of those three poets, looks up every sentence to sentences, and analyzes the poems using the structuralism approach. The result of the research found that reading a poem as a whole unit is a must. This study was expected to help the readers of poems understand how to read the poems and analyze the poems comprehensively.
