If you're studying the poetry of Emily Dickinson for the Leaving Cert, this podcast is for you!

English teacher Peter Tobin is back and he's here to give you ideas and in-depth analysis you can use in your poetry essays.

Peter covers different aspects of Dickinson's poetry in this podcast and examines each of her poems on the syllabus in detail.
