So what are we up to this summer at Classical Writing?
Advanced Poetry is on the front burner here. This book is already written, and currently in its last stages of editing. It is a one semester high school level poetry and lit text. It is optional, but highly recommended for students who plan to study the humanities in college.
Through this book you will review meter and scansion, read and analyze the major epic poems in the English poetry tradition, write poetry analysis essays, and also, YES!!! write your own poems.
Our emphasis is on reading and understanding. As always our mantra is that you cannot analyze anything, or try to figure out what something means unless you start with the original intent of the author.
Shakespeare, Milton, Spenser, Dante (OK, he was not English, but we can’t live without him!!), and more, coming your way towards the end of the summer.
