Description

At the heart of this book is a belief that poetry matters, and that it enables us to enjoy and understand life.

In this accessible guide, Andrew Hodgson equips the reader for the challenging and rewarding experience of unlocking poetry, considering the key questions about language, technique, feeling and subject matter which illuminate what a poem has to say.

In a lucid and sympathetic manner, he considers a diverse range of poets writing in English to demonstrate how their work enlarges our perception of ourselves and our world.

The process of independent research is modeled step-by-step, as the guide shows where to start, how to develop ideas, and how to draw conclusions.

Providing guidance on how to plan, organise and write essays, close readings and commentaries, from initial annotation to final editing, this book will provide you with the confidence to discover and express your own personal response to poetry.
