What's That About?
Poet Joseph Coelho explores how we infer meaning from poems and highlights that the same poem can mean different things to different people. He also gives the audience the tools to logically justify their response to the poem, such as deduction and reference to evidence within the poem. He discusses how poetic devices can change the audience's interpretation of a poem and how you can employ these devices to imbue meaning in your own poems. He even looks at how the specific words the author chooses for the poem can change how the audience interpret it.
