Thanks for this. A lot of times i see discussions on media focusing form and content, rather than form and structure, specifically when trying to describe how a book, movie, or game fits within genre conventions. I wonder if content and structure are being used interchangeably here, or if content is a bit of a different topic.
this is amazing, but one question, what if you know the structure but not the form? Like in an exam, if you can identify the structures of an unseen poem (caesura, enjambment, etc), but can not name the form, do you have any advice on how to go about this?
That's a great question! It's actually quite common for unseen exam poems to not adhere to a specific poetic form (often because they tend to be post-1945 and so free verse features a bit more frequently). In these cases, you can still comment on aspects like the shape and visual arrangement of the poem as 'formal traits'. In any case, as long as you engage intelligently with things like enjambment, rhyming arrangement, meter/scansion etc., you're golden.
Beautifully explained❤

I see content as being 'what' the author communicates, and structure (and form) as being 'how' the author communicates the 'what'.
That makes a lot of sense and is really helpful. Thanks, Jen! Enjoyed a few of your videos after looking this up.@@JenChan
