| Poetry Analysis Book 2 broadens senior students' horizons by revealing not only the breadth and scope of poetry, but the history itself. It provides a historic and thematic overview of poets and poetry from early civilisations to contemporary and popular poetry. Notes ans exercises heighten students' awareness of the development of the English language and factors affecting this development.
By discussing traditional poetic forms and introducing students to an understanding of experimention and eclecticism, we empower the students by giving them an understanding of where poetry and poets sit in the grand scheme of societal conditioning of and through literature.
