reviewed The Discovery of Poetry: A Field Guide to Reading and Writing Poems on December 25, 2013 The Discovery of Poetry: A Field Guide to Reading and Writing Poems
An overview and introduction by a poet and teacher who went on to fame and fortune when she wrote a memoir about her life in Tuscany. I studied the first edition of this book, originally published in the 1980's, years before anyone had heard of Frances Mayes. I maintain that her writing success is built on her in-depth knowledge of the workings of poetry. The pattern of writing/studying poetry before becoming famous in another genre is fairly common (C.S. Lewis, Shakespeare, Vladimir Nabokov and countless others have gone down this road) which supports the idea that aspiring writers should appreciate, or at least understand the art and craft of making a poem.
