What point of view is used here by the speaker?
“An Introduction to Poetry” by Billy Collins I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive. I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out, or walk inside the poem's room and feel the walls for a light switch. I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore. But all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means. What point of view is used here by the speaker? first person

(NOTE: There may be multiple possibilities.) readers (teachers, students, people who love literature, critics, other writers and poets) who focus on close reading and analysis of poetry (rather than other ways to “read”/enjoy/ experience poems)

look for deeper meaning too hard/that may not actually be there
“An Introduction to Poetry” by Billy Collins I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive.

I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore. But all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means. What is the speaker’s point about the “theys”? What do the “theys” do with/to poetry in your own words? overanalyze poetry look for deeper meaning too hard/that may not actually be there stretching and pulling a poem so thin that nothing is left of it figure poetry out make it like a paragraph, not a poem tear poetry apart too much destroy poems by researching them, not reading them infer meaning/read deeply between the lines

metaphor (comparing a poem to the ocean)
“An Introduction to Poetry” by Billy Collins I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive. I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out, or walk inside the poem's room and feel the walls for a light switch. I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore. But all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means. Think about what you know about poetic techniques. Identify one technique (term and example) that is operating in the poem. simile (comparing understanding a poem to seeing a photo slide in the light) metaphor (comparing a poem to the ocean) personification (implying that a poem can talk and commit crimes and can offer confessions of crimes) imagery (tactile/touch sensory details/imagery)
