Poetry for Students is designed specifically to meet the curricular needs of high school and undergraduate college students studying poetry. A quick but information-rich reference source, each volume of Poetry for Students provides analysis of approximately 20 poems that teachers and librarians have identified as the most frequently studied in literature courses. For each poem, students will discover:
- An overview essay on the poem - An analysis of the work's construction and form - An examination of key themes addressed in the poem - A discussion of the historical and cultural context in which the poem was composed - Selected criticism on the poem or poet - Brief author biography
Some of the poems covered in volume 1 include:
- "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson - "Mirror" by Sylvia Plath - "Miss Rosie" by Lucille Clifton - "Musee des Beaux Arts" by W. H. Auden - "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning - "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats - "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe
