Poetry to My Ear(0-07-229543-0): This is the first CD-ROM to cover the formal components of poetry (rhyme, rhythm, line, and form), to define and illustrate the concepts, and to enable students to try their own hands at some of the techniques in the interactive studio. By offering students the opportunity to hear a recitation of each anthologized poem (in some cases by the author), this groundbreaking teaching tool engages students with poetry, poetic language, and poets at a truly inspirational level.
