Sounds Poetic - listening to how poetry works
A surprising number of people will read a poem without listening to it. Often they might pick out a clever metaphor or two, explore the themes, even identify a few biographical details that add to their understanding, but to really appreciate a poem fully you need to read it aloud (or use the internet to find someone else doing so). The author explores the sounds of poetry and suggests how you can comment on them more effectively in your analysis.
