I wanted to draw everybody's attention to the excellent work of Simon F. Davies, one of my colleagues at the University of Sussex, who has produced a fantastic Open Educational Resource on teaching poetry to undergraduates. Were I deploying meiosis I'd say this was pretty good. As it is, and this isn't hyperbole, it's bloody great.
