Beschreibung
<p>The limited number of poetry resources for high school students all present their subjects by way of techniques: poems are included in chapters focused on “metaphor,” “tone,” or “sound.” But no great poem was ever written to illustrate a lesson on metaphor.</p>
<p>The way to understand a poem is to get to know it as itself, rather than as an example of poetic technique. <b><i>Unlocking the Poem</i> treats each poem as an independent literary event, just as it was written.</b> Discussion of literary elements begins only <em>after</em> the student has fully explored the poem with his or her eyes, ears, feelings, and mind.</p>
<p>The primary interpretive strategy of repeated reading and patient questioning—rather than the enumeration and analysis of literary elements—removes much of the mystification that a reliance on terminology imposes on the study of poems. <i>Unlocking the Poem</i> uses a friendly approach that recognizes our reasons for reading poems: to see things in a new way, to feel things keenly and freshly.</p>
<p><i>Unlocking the Poem</i> provides a path toward understanding that any motivated student can follow. Using this book, students will develop the ability to connect with any poem they may encounter by following a simple progression of steps. Featured poems by William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Claude McKay, Philip Larkin, and Elizabeth Bishop.</p>
