Synopsis
Interactive multimedia for literature courses has arrived! This is the first CD-ROM to cover the formal components of poetry (rhyme, rhythm, line, and form), to define and illustrate concepts, to offer game-like activities, and to enable students to try their own hands at some of the techniques in the interactive studio.
By enabling students to hear each poem in the included anthology recited, in some cases by the author, and even to hear their own poetry, this groundbreaking teaching tool engages students with poetry, poetic language, and poets at a level instructors will find truly inspirational.
