Notes on Jorges P Lopez's The Elements of Poetry

The earlier published book The Elements of Poetry by Jorges P Lopez contains many poems for practice meant for the reader to examine understanding of what is taught in the book. To make this possible, the book gives twenty-six popular poems with questions based on the elements of petry discussed in the book. This second book, Notes on The Elements of Poetry by Jorges P Lopez, gives the answers to these practice questions. This is in recognition of the fact that many good students prefer to read first, and then test themselves. It is also often quite difficult to test oneself when you have questions and answeers in the same book. It is hoped that this separation will allow the students and teachers of poetry to deal with the elements of poetry first, and then use the second book to find out how well they can answer the questions which measure how much was understood. For the teacher of poetry, this book also gives tips on the teaching of poetry using the poem examples given and notes which help comprehend the poems better in case the notes and questions given in The Elements of Poetry missed something important.
