Literary Criticism. Nonfiction. HTML:Sometimes it seems like there are as many definitions of poetry as there are poems. Coleridge defined poetry as ??the best words in the best order.? St. Augustine called it ??the Devil??s wine.? For Shelley, poetry was ??the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.? But no matter how you define it, poetry has exercised a hold upon the hearts and minds of people for more than five millennia. That??s because for the attentive reader, poetry has the power to send chills shooting down the spine and lightning bolts flashing in the brain ?? to throw open the doors of perception and hone our sensibilities to a scalpel??s edge.

Poetry For Dummies is a great guide to reading and writing poems, not only for beginners, but for anyone interested in verse.  From Homer to Basho, Chaucer to Rumi, Shelley to Ginsberg, it introduces you to poetry??s greatest practitioners. It arms you with the tools you need to understand and appreciate poetry in all its forms, and to explore your own talent as a poet. Discover how to:

  • Understand poetic language and forms
  • Interpret poems
  • Get a handle on poetry through the ages
  • Find poetry readings near you
  • Write your own poems
  • Shop your work around to publishers

Don??t know the difference between an iamb and a trochee? Worry not, this friendly guide demystifies the jargon, and it covers a lot more ground besides, including:

  • Understanding subject, tone, narrative; and poetic language
  • Mastering the three steps to interpretation
  • Facing the challenges of older poetry
  • Exploring 5,000 years of verse, from Mesopotamia to the global village
  • Writing open-form poetry
  • Working with traditional forms of verse
  • Writing exercises for aspiring poets
  • Getting published

From Sappho to Clark Coolidge, and just about everyone in between, Poetry For Dummies puts you in touch with the greats of modern and ancient poetry. Need guidance on composing a ghazal, a tanka, a sestina, or a p… (meer)

Sadly, I didn't pay attention to the poetry class I had in college, so I bought this book was OK. I did learn some stuff, like poetry needs to be read out loud, and it has a good glossary in one of it appendixes. But the sections on poetry gatherings and writing it weren't of interest to me. Plus, it was published around 2000, so some of it's wildly out of date; and page 194 says "(see Figure 12-1)" — there is no Figure 12-1. ( )
