based on our background knowledge, we can interpret poet's views differently. different interpretations of a literary text is the manifestation of the effect of background knowledge on understanding texts; sometimes; nobody can reach the original idea of the poet while writing it
I do not think that anyone can reach the mind of poet when analyzes his/her poetry.
As I see it, only those who are aesthetically, psychologically, and cognititively developped can reach the mind of poet while analyzing his/her poetry. Ordinary peole, so to speak, are nor capable doing this.

I'm a poet, many of my poems still no one know, for whom they have been written, and the real mean of their words, though they can expect the situation and the circumstances..
you can find many of my poems if you did search of my name by Google.
Sometimes it is possible, But sometimes it is impossible to know what the poet means in his poem except the poet himself . There is a wisdom in Arabic says "meaning in the heart of the poet" . (المعنى في قلب الشاعر).
Thank you my sister Farangis Shahidzade for your answer yes we can interpret the poem by background knowledge from our understanding but no one can reach the mind of poet.
Poets represent a cultural point in time, less themselves than the culture they represent. We can take little knowledge of Shakespeare from his writing, and from poets like Pushkin knowledge of their style and word-choice but not much else. Was Homer a woman, as has been claimed? We cannot tell from the Iliad or Odyssey (if Homer wrote both or either). This is not the case with every poet, some we know them immediately for style and thought processes, but for many it holds true.
What were their politics? We cannot really know quite often. Even obvious examples like Mayakovski are not clear. Stalin's poetry written when he was young is often beautiful, balanced and full of charm-was that actually the man?
In a few modicum part of them the answer you can reach the mind of poet, but in the most part of them it is difficult & complicated to a such way that, you can not reached it.
In some cases, the poet deliberately intends to make his poem comprehensible to the reader, but in many cases he may deliberately ambiguity in the meanings of the words of his poem, especially when the words of the poem addressed to specific people in order to understand the meaning of the poem only these people, and this is observed when criticizing the poets of political leaders in their country And also when poets send messages encrypted to his beloved. Through their poems.
Every poet has his own idea and inspiration when writing poetry poem, but writing poetry comes as a result of the impact of a certain position or loss of something dear to him, such as the death of his brother or his parents or left by his sweetheart or the result of betrayal by a close friend, Access to what the poet thinks of the moment of writing the poetic poem by reading the lines of poetic passages written by so how can the reader analyze what the poet thinks? It is difficult to reach precisely the poet's destination unless we can know the position or occasion in which the poem was written. In the descriptive poems, the reader can analyze the poem easily as well as the narrative poems, but in the poems of emotional and rhetorical and rhetorical and spells we see that the reader finds it difficult to analyze the poems so requires the reader to know the occasion for which the poem was written through the above mentioned we can touch some of the poems that We can analyze some of the lines and can not analyze the entire poem.
