Shira Wolosky introduces the skills needed for reading poetry, working from the individual word, line and image to verse forms, voice, gender and metre. 330 $bA uniquely comprehensive, step-by-step introduction to poetic form, The Art of Poetry moves progressively from smaller units such as the word, line, and image, to larger features such as verse forms and voice.In fourteen engaging, eloquently written chapters, Wolosky explores in depth how poetry works while offering brilliant readings of some of the finest lyric poetry in the English and American traditions. Both readers new to poetry and poetry veterans will be moved and enlightened as Wolosky interprets works by William Shakespeare, John Donne, William Blake, William Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Sylvia Plath, and others. Featuring a comprehensive bibliography, a glossary of poetic terms, and a new appendix of suggestions for further reading, The Art of Poetry is a rich source of inspiration. 606 $aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish language$xVersification 606 $aPoetics 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVersification. 615 0$aPoetics. 676 $a821.009 700 $aWeiss$b Shira Wolosky$f1954-$01467434 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 801 2$bStDuBDSZ 801 2$bUkPrAHLS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782232903321 996 $aThe art of poetry$93678083 997 $aUNINA
