Introduction to Poetry

bullet1 The Title and the World Outside the Poem

bullet2 Name that Poem - Discussion Point


By this stage of the study you should be starting to come to some understanding of what the poem means to you. But there is still no title attached. Your first task in this section of the course is to look once again at the poem and then to suggest a title for it which you think might make sense. You should be able to justify your title by looking at evidence from your interpretation of the text. In the on-line discussion space, put forward your selected title and then discuss the reasons why you feel it might be appropriate.
