Poetry HomePage
I went to Google images to find a logo for this page.
I could not decide whether to select the play of poetry, the beauty of poetry, or the science of poetry.
Ah heck!, I used all of them because they are all accurate.
You can navigate from here to all other poetry pages. Test your links. If you have a problem, please let me know immediately. However, you can just open the other pages from the left hand navigation menu also.
Read this information first. How to read poetry

Your text discusses writing about poetry in chapter 19. It covers the elements of poetry starting on page 567. The text uses some slightly different vocabulary than I do. However, you will have no problem recognizing the parallels. The bonus is that you will have two sources to use to understand the poetry better.
I will be scouring your textbook for poems to substitute for some of the poems I used in this web site. I will update the website and notify the class if I change any poems.
