compass-791	Weston, Daniel	Exploring first-year undergraduates’ perceptions of poetry and their acquisition of skills in reading poetry for study at university	2018	9	.pdf	application/pdf	4662	229	55	Even though roughly 50% of the texts available for the students to choose from were poetry, only 20% chose to write on poetry, with the figure dropping further to 8% for modern poetry (defined as that written in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries). Data has been gathered from focus groups with first-year undergraduate students in an English department at a UK university to discover what perceptions of poetry students hold and what factors in teaching contribute to the development and/or perpetuation of these perceptions.	cache/compass-791.pdf	txt/compass-791.txt
