| Description: |
A guide to writing and understanding poetry. It includes poetry-writing exercises and discussion of classic and contemporary poems as examples, and is logically organized to provide an overview of the elements of poetry-writing, from diction to trope to free verse. It also includes sections on journaling and inspiration, revision, and publishing. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a major new guide to writing and understanding poetry."A Poet's Craft" transcends the built-in limitations of current books, combining the best of all three types of poetry-writing guides: textbooks for academic use, general guides to writing poetry, and guides to writing in form. Like the textbooks, it includes poetry-writing exercises and discussion of classic and contemporary poems as examples, and is logically organized to provide a complete overview of the elements of poetry-writing, from diction to trope to free verse. Like the general poetry guides, it has a tone lively and mature enough for the non-undergraduate, and includes sections on journaling and inspiration, revision, publishing, and even how to assemble a poetry book. Like the form guides, "A Poet's Craft" provides an introduction to meter and to writing formal poetry. Finch's book goes further than any form guide now available to give readers a thorough, eclectic, and exciting introduction to poetic form. |
