Drawing together commentary, research and his own professional experience, John Gordon explores ways of thinking about poetry with students in mind. He posits the distinctiveness of thinking about teaching poetry rather than considering poetry in isolation as an object of study. The book supports readers in developing their own ethos and pedagogical judgement that is flexible enough to respond to the requirements of particular students and particular texts. The oeuvreof W.B.Yeats is put to use to address the many issues and learning puzzles that can arise when teaching poetry in the secondary phase of schooling (14+) and at undergraduate level. General principles are identified throughout so readers can consider and teach other poems with these ideas in mind. A Pedagogy of Poetrysynthesizes literary criticism and analysis, considerations of literary pedagogy, the empirical research base and the theoretical frameworks concerning responses to poetry. It sets literary study in the context of the psychology of learning while maintaining a focus on how reflection supports teachers' choices and actions in the classroom.
