It depends! While you can hire a poet to help you analyse a poem you’ve read, it may be better to hire an English or reading tutor instead. The tutor may help you explore the poem by looking at its title, identifying the speaker, and discussing the mood, themes, tone, structure, form, and metrical pattern. A tutor may also give you insight into the poet and the poem’s context, such as when, where, and why it was written.
