Rezensionen
"These approaches provide a valuable framework which enables rather than inhibits textual exploration and the development of an argument. But it is the richness, clarity and accessibility of the discussion of this process, the variety of poems used as stimulus, and the wealth of model answers and essays which make the book successful... the book would be useful for independent study, but equally its messages and examples could be valuable stimulus for the teacher of poetry."

-- Gary Snapper, Editor, Teaching English
