About Poetry Essay

Poetry Essay was founded in December 2012, as a support tool for students studying poetry.  It accompanied Poetry Essay app, which is unfortunately no longer supported with iOS 11. 

Sometimes poetry can be confusing and intimidating.  At Poetry Essay, our mission is to help you to analyse poetry by breaking down some of the barriers, equipping you with the tools to write detailed paragraphs about it.  Our hope is that our sentence starters, annotations, definitions and prompts will help you draw your own conclusions about poems, and craft unique opinions for assignments, test papers or exams.

We're always evolving and creating new content, and we welcome your input and requests.

Follow us on Twitter @poetryessay and like us on facebook.com/poetryessay for daily poetry news.

Subscribe to us on youtube.com/poetryessay for annotations of popular poems.
