Favorite Answer

Read textbook more than once.

Make flash cards.

Repeat till familiar.

Answer 2

I use images to remember things. Like I needed to remember shortrunposter.com so I pictured a man running on a short poster.

Maybe you could do that with people. Elizabeth Browning-warming up in the oven before love;)

Or Dylan Thomas' Elegy, picture Bob Dylan on a piece of paper dead.

Whatever works, make your own mental images.
