How to Read Poetry Like a Professor: A Quippy and Sonorous Guide to Verse by Thomas C. Foster

4.0

This is a great read to prepare me (and students!) for our poetry unit. Foster does a great job revealing the purpose and place of poetry in the classroom. He gives terrific examples of how to “unpack” a lyrical poem and how it truly is a snapshot of that moment in time, compared to an epic poem, which is more like a movie. Great, quick read to help organize my poetry unit for second semester!
