In as much as this anthology can be used for personal study and enjoyment, it is primarily geared to teaching and preparation of poetry in examinations at all levels in high school and even higher levels.

Each poem has well researched and_ exhaustive suggested answers to all the questions on both the oral and literary skills. However, this does not limit the teachers’ and learners’ critical interpretation of the given poems.

Teachers and students preparing for poetry examinations at all levels of the English curriculum will find this book invaluable.

This guide has been compiled by Mr. Mungai J. M., a senior examiner of English and with vast experience in teaching of English at secondary school level.
