Marking Meter (Step 4) | Close Reading Poetry for Beginners

John Hollander describes meter as an invisible border that distinguishes the language of poetry from the everyday language of prose. Meter, in this sense, distinguishes poetic language as an art form. This module introduces the basics of English meter and how to discover it within a poem.
