About
Grammar of Poetry is a classical language arts course written by Matt Whitling and published by Canon Press. The program takes a classical approach to poetry by first teaching students to analyze formal elements — meter, foot, rhyme scheme, stanza forms, and figures of speech — and then to imitate those forms in original compositions. It is designed for middle and high school grades and is used both as a stand-alone poetry elective and as a complement to writing programs such as Writing & Rhetoric or the Progymnasmata sequence. Video instruction through Roman Roads Media is available.
