It provides students with the tools to compose successful lines of poetry and focuses on meter (including free verse), rhythm, rhyme, and the many other tools a poet needs to create both music and meaningfulness in an artful poem. Presenting copious examples from strong poets of the past and present along with many recent student examples, all of which are scanned, each chapter offers lessons in poetic history and the practice of writing verse, along with giving students a structured opportunity to experiment writing in all the forms discussed. In Part 1, Rothman and Spear begin at the beginning, with Anglo-Saxon Strong Stress Alliterative Meter and examine every major meter in English, up to and including the free verse forms of modern and contemporary poetry. Part 2 presents a close examination of stanza forms that moves from the simple to the complex, beginning with couplets and ending with the 14-line Eugene Onegin stanza. The goal of the book is to give students the essential skills to understand how any line of poetry in English may have been composed, the better to enjoy them and then also write their own: the keys to the treasure chest. Rothman and Spear present a rigorous curriculum that teaches the craft of poetry through a systematic examination and practice of the major English meters and verse forms. Under their guidance, students hone their craft while studying the rich traditions and innovations of poets writing in English. Suitable for high school students and beyond. I studied with Rothman in graduate school and went through this course with additional scholarly material. This book will help students develop a keen ear for the music of the English language.?Teow Lim Goh, author of Islanders. 410 0$aSpringer Texts in Education,$x2366-7680 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPoetry 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStyle 606 $aCreative writing 606 $aLanguage Education 606 $aPoetry and Poetics 606 $aStylistics 606 $aCreative Writing 606 $aPoesia anglesa$2thub 606 $aEnsenyament$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aPoetry. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStyle. 615 0$aCreative writing. 615 14$aLanguage Education. 615 24$aPoetry and Poetics. 615 24$aStylistics. 615 24$aCreative Writing. 615 7$aPoesia anglesa 615 7$aEnsenyament. 676 $a809.1 676 $a821.007 700 $aRothman$b David J.$00 702 $aSpear$b Susan Delaney 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910586578503321 997 $aUNINA
