Review # 1 was written on 2009-01-31 00:00:00 Steven Swalgen For me, a difficult read with moments of illumination. Very esoteric comments on the creation of poetry. It was borrowed from interlibrary loan, and if I had had more time, I could have read it at a more leisurely pace. Nevertheless, it is helpful for a writers' workshop. |
Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-09 00:00:00 Tim Gordon An Introduction to the characteristics and properties of English Poetry: this is a book about metre and poetic technique, not a primer or a chronology. James Fenton concisely summarises the fundamentals and, as a poet himself, shares his insights. Concepts like iamb, trochee and accent (as distinguished from 'stress') are clearly elaborated with helpful examples of usage from a wide range of poets and periods. It is delightful that a work about poetry should read so beautifully, not only because of words like choriamb, anapaest, and amphibrach, but also as a result of Fenton's crisp and stately style. |
