Probably the same way that a lot of us do: read CAS, read items about him and his writings, and write what interests you about him. For me it was writing about the poetry most of all, with the occasional book review thrown into the mix. Now, with the software and skills, I am working towards a concordance of the poetry, with more papers to follow, papers that will use the concordance to help winkle out themes and images that interest me.
At the same time, I recommend investing in a solid collection of secondary items, such as bibliographies and literary studies, and, where possible, copies of the journals about him. Keep an eye on the major names, also, that crop up, and most of all: follow your passions.
Last piece of advice: network with other CASians.
