How do you interpret a poem? Students often find it difficult to access poetry. As a teacher, Ralf Kellermann not only knows the pitfalls of poem interpretation well but also understands how to successfully address them: Starting from the unique communication structure of the poem, he introduces the lyrical language step by step and with many examples (meter, rhyme, stylistic devices, etc.), outlines important knowledge of literary periods, and presents different types of poem interpretation. Note and information boxes provide concise summaries and concrete assistance for classwork, exams, and the Abitur. Suitable for upper secondary education.
