The Poetry Tavern

This week is all about acrostic poems, looking at poems from both Lewis Carroll and Edgar Allan Poe, seeing poems that each use variations on the acrostic form.

This week, we are talking all about Sonnets, both what they are and discussing specific examples, with poems by Christina Rossetti and Rafael Campo.

In this episode, we talk about the different ways in which repetition can be used within poetry, looking at examples from Lewis Carroll and Maya Angelou.

In our opening episode, we discuss what poetry actually is, including discussing how it goes beyond what we are sometimes told or expect. Your host, Charlotte, explains, while peppering a handful of poems, old and new, throughout. Welcome to a brand new show, about poetry and all its parts.
