Shelley describes poetry as “something divine”; some of us may beg to differ. For some of us, a poem is like a fortune cookie we have to bite into and pry open to reveal a secret inside it. How do we close read a poem? Why do people write poems and why do poets make it so difficult? Using a range of Singapore poetry, this session will explore some ways to approach the unseen poem and introduce some strategies to build our appreciation and understanding of poetry.Join Dr Dennis Yeo, Lecturer at the National Institute of Education, as he shares the finer points of poetry appreciation and analysis.Dr Yeo will demonstrate how to effectively approach the unseen poem in exams through a range of Singapore poetry. Date & Venue:Saturday, 26 May5pm - 6:30pmPossibility Room, Level 5 National Library BuildingFree Entry, please register via ticketing at the right corner.
