Description:
As Poet Laureate, Robert Pinsky is one of America's best spokesmen for poetry. In this learned and concise book, he explains the basic principles of the sounds we call poetry: diction, syntax, accent and stress, verse form, and the like. "Poetry is a vocal, which is to say a bodily, art, " writes Pinsky. Citing the work of fifty different poets -- from Shakespeare and Donne to Elizabeth Bishop and Frank Bidart -- he shows how poets use the "technology" of poetry, its sound, to create works of art that are "performed" in us when we read them aloud.
