The Power of Poetry

Listen on

Episode notes

In the latest episode in our Discover Hampton podcast series we examine The Power of Poetry. Join experienced English Teacher Mr Baker as he discusses the poem The Sea Eats the Land at Home by Ghanaian author Kofi Awoonor with our Third Years and Lower Sixth Formers. For Mr Baker, literature and poetry are fundamentally concerned with human nature and real life where we are rarely faced with binary right and wrong decisions. It’s fascinating to hear the pupils engage with the text from a range of perspectives and watch their interpretation evolve as they learn more about the writer and his background. Enjoy the listen and please share if you can.
