Synopsis:

For beginning or advanced students of poetry more focused on the art of structuring a poem, "A Poet's Ear" serves as a handbook to writing in numerous fixed forms.

From the basic meters and traditional European forms of the ballad and the sonnet to poetic forms brought to English from worldwide cultures and postmodern forms and techniques, "A Poet's Ear" serves as both a survey and a guide to the exploration of poetic form. More diverse and comprehensive than any other form handbook, "A Poet's Ear" will be essential to the serious student of poetry.
