A pedantic beginner's guide to poetry,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Resistance to Poetry (Paperback)
This book is supposed to be a beginner's guide to poetry. If you're looking for a detailed overview of poetic conventions, this is the book for you. The author talks about and defines different conventions, famous poets who are known for using them, and illustrates with examples from real poems. However, the explanations at times get very confusing, the reader can easily be confused about the difference between two similar conventions without anything to set them straight, and the language is somewhat pedantic for a beginner's book. Overall, if you're willing to wade through it, the book has some valuable information.
