Synopsis "Unmasking poetry"

Learning and understanding poetry has been a problem to many students, not only in our secondary schools, but even at the universities. At university level, a number of Literature students fear taking poetry courses because the genre is 'hard', a myth that has indeed affected the performance of poetry in our learning institutions. What our students should know is that poetry started as an oral art, it is the dirges we sing at funerals, the chants we hear in our churches and even our own thoughts that make poetry! Some of the earliest poetry is said to have been orally recited or sung, which, with the development of writing, developed to the structured forms. But this again faced challenge as witnessed in the 20th Century poetry that lacked the traditional structured forms and were in free verse and prose poems. Therefore, there is nothing new in poetry that should make students shy away from. The genre is informative, entertaining, educative, and helps in promoting culture.
