Poetry Remastered: A Practical Guide for Senior Students

By Blair Mahoney

From the author of Poetry Reloaded, comes a text for senior students that will enhance their appreciation and understanding of poetry while preparing them to master English exams and other assessment tasks. Through close readings of a wide variety of poems, Poetry Remastered offers new ways for students to: investigate poetry through the key areas of imagery, sound devices, form and structure, mood and theme, and historical and authorial context; uncover the different meanings embedded in poems by exploring them through a variety of critical reading frameworks; develop sophisticated ways of comparing and contrasting poetic styles by looking closely at the structure and features specific to this literary form; understand what teachers and examiners are looking for in a written response by providing annotated sample essays as models for their own writing; develop and justify their own interpretations and evaluations of poetry by refining key essay writing skills.
