This book has one purpose: to help school and university students write better essays about poetry. It will help you quickly get to grips with the main poetic features, teach you about some new ones, and give you greater confidence with unseen poetry tasks. It's a sort of glossary, but much more than that ... There are many glossaries of poetic terms available. Poetry Hacks goes further by discussing the effects produced by over a hundred features, each with worked examples from poems by the greatest poets. It also gives easy-to-read explanations of some of the more difficult aspects of poetry, such as versification, and helpful advice about essay style.
