View Profile
I am a reference librarian and a former advanced placement English teacher. I can help identify poems, and I can define literary terms. In the area of literary criticism or analyses of specific poems, my experience and interests are these: Shakespeare, 18th- and 19th-century English literature, and American literature. I prefer short, specific questions on particular authors, poems, terms, or literary movements. I will not edit lengthy submissions or write students` assignments.Available

View Profile

Here is what I do:
As a Classic Poetry Aide, I offer assistance in the following areas:(1) poetry from ancient to contemporary poetry, (2) scholarly and critical works about the poetry, (3) guidance in writing essays about poetry.

I answer questions about the poets and poetry most widely studied in high school and college English classes. I help with interpretations and direct you to online poetry analyses. I find web sources that offer information for students writing essays about poems.

Here is what I do not do:
I do not help with creative writing issues, such as critiquing poems or offering ideas for poems. I do not offer my personal opinion about poets and poems.
