Students often find senior poetry a difficult topic, particularly when they're challenged to comment on poetic or literary technique. These comprehensive notes can be assigned as reading or used as starter points for classroom discussion. Each of the six poems set for study is covered in detail, and Frost's use of poetic technique and many artistic and cultural references are explained. With a bonus sample essay from a past exam paper (including Jean Giono's short story 'The Man who Planted Trees' as the related text), every class studying Frost should have a set of these notes.
