1) Used Text to Columns Tool to delimit the data - default config required no changes.
2) Used Select to rename the columns
3) Used Formula to strip single quotes and double quotes from the poem text itself
4) Used DateTime to convert the existing date "formatting" (dd-Mon.-yy)
5) Used Select to remove old date column and rename the new formatting one to "Poem_Read_Date"

In order to transform the data, I first broke the data out into multiple columns using the Text to Columns tool. 

I then removed the double quotation marks in column 1 using the replace formula.

I then removed the single quotation in column 3 using the RegEx tool.

Next, I transformed the date formatting using the Date/Time tool. Lastly, the Select tool allowed me to exclude unneeded columns and rename column 1 and 2.
