The video tutorial discusses four poetic devices used in the poem 'Dust of Snow': enjambment, assonance, alliteration, and consonance. Each device is explained with examples from the poem. Enjambment is when a sentence continues without punctuation across lines. Assonance involves the repetition of vowel sounds. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby words. Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds, which can occur anywhere in the words. The video concludes with a summary and encourages students to prepare for exams.
