Critiquing Poetry Criticism

The following commentaries are explication of single poems written for other audiences/purposes in mind; They, therefore, DO NOT meet examination requirements. Nevertheless, there are qualities to be learnt from these samples:

From the Mid-Year Examination

Q1A
"The Snow Man". Steven, Wallace.
"Desert Places". Frost, Robert.


Q1B
"Counting the Beats". Graves, Robert.
"Time Passing, Beloved". Davie, Donald.
(Mentions Davie's poem briefly, but explains sound patterning really well)
