Expert Profile: Linda Sue Grimes -- Classic Poetry Aide

Expertise:  

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.
