The language of poetry is rich and complex—from abstract language to voice, with all the enjambment, Nashers and sprung rhythm in between. The Poetry Dictionary illuminates and unravels it all with clear, working definitions.
In addition, you'll find vivid and thorough descriptions, along with examples from classic and contemporary poetry, Greek to avant-garde, to illustrate the terms. In many cases, several different poems are used to show the evolution of the form, making The Poetry Dictionary a unique anthology of the art. It's a guide to the poetry of today and yesterday, with intriguing hints as to what tomorrow holds.
Author/poet John Drury focuses on those terms that are useful to students and teachers. These are words you need to effectively discuss the craft—concepts that will broaden and stimulate your own creative processes. Drury's from-experience viewpoint and spirited voice keep The Poetry Dictionary relevant, immediate and not only easy to read, but hard not to.

reviewed Poetry Dictionary on April 29, 2013 Poetry Dictionary
It doesn't look cool. The title is not sexy. Some may not even think John Drury "sexy." And the publisher is -- ahem -- Writer's Digest Books. Don't be fooled. And this book is THE BOMB. For everybody from high school students to college students to practicing poets, Drury gives you thorough definitions and examples for all things poetry. He's never condescending, so don't think you're too grown for the Drury's PD: he'll throw that Greek mess at you. But he's also practical and NOT a purist. Yes, you get the Persian ghazal in its true form, but you also get the bastardized versions. Even some bastard Sapphics.
