How do you write critiques on poems for a literature anthology?

Answer #1

I would talk about 6 aspects of the poem. Language - peel apart all the linguistic devices such as oxymorons, alliteration, use of rhetoric

Structure - how the poem is ordered. What happens at different stages

Form - what type of poem it is eg. Dramatic monologue

Attitudes - typical attitudes of the poet

Ideas - self explanatory

Feelings - how characters in the poem are feeling or perhaps feelings that the poet is trying to portray

Conclusion: is the poem successful? Your personal opinion.
