Description
This work develops the student's ability to read and evaluate poetic texts of many kinds and includes activities, commentaries and extensions of each extract. It covers a variety of poetic language, ranging from songs, advertisements and spoken language to the more traditional forms of the sonnet, ode and free verse. The book includes poetry from Philip Larkin, Maya Angelou, Dylan Thomas and Tony Harrison.
Reviews"Provides ample opportunity to consider and compare what gives poetry popular appeal, what makes it 'great', and what makes "you like it!."
-Shan Wareing, Roehampton Institute
