Radiance: Communication Skills, Prose and Poetry is meant for undergraduate courses in general English and includes not only prose and poetry but also sections on written communication and spoken communication. It is hoped that students will stand to benefit from the glossary at the end of each prose and poetry text and also the comprehension questions that follow. Apart from this, the writing section gives ample practice in writing for specific purposes required of any graduate who enters higher academic or professional fields. The purpose of this textbook, therefore, is to take forward the course offered in Prism and guide learners in more kinds of written and spoken forms of communication, thus equipping them with the confidence to meet the needs and challenges of advanced study as well as the job market.
