Understanding Poetry (2025-26)

Original price was: $475.00.Current price is: $427.50.

In this class, Junior High and High School students will be introduced to the art of reading poetry. Through reading and discussion of more than 75 classic poems, they will be equipped to recognize the poet’s tools, literary devices, and many prevalent poetic forms. Most importantly, they will be introduced to a Socratic list of questions for the study of poetry that will help them learn to observe and listen carefully to the poet, thinking his thoughts after him, searching out his symbols and images, his devices and diction in order to come to terms with his ideas. Lively discussion using this Socratic Method will follow readings of individual poems that exemplify key ideas introduced in class.

Classes meet on Tuesdays.
