DIRECTIONS PART 2: A kenning is a literary device in which a poetic phrase substitutes for a noun. In
the best kennings, one element of the phrase will create a striking, unexpected comparison. Often
used in Anglo-Saxon poetry and especially in Beowulf, a kenning provides powerful imagery that would
help the audience focus on the words of the scop or poet telling the story. A kenning also allows the
scop some variety, so words don't become overused. A kenning can be almost like a puzzle or riddle,
because its purpose is to show the item in an unusual way. Here are some modern examples: gas
guzzler (large vehicle); eye candy (good looking person); rug rat (small child); cancer stick (cigarette).
