Citing the work of 50 different poets--from Shakespeare and Donne to Elizabeth Bishop and Frank Bidart--the Poet Laureate explains the principles of the sounds of what is called poetry.
Review:
"[A] nice addition to any poetry bookshelf, helpful for both beginning readers and long-timers who may have lost touch with the pleasures of the medium. Pinsky's prose is less cerebral than his poetry....Pinsky comes across as a wise, unhurried teacher....[A] profoundly uplifting book [that] returns to language a sense of possibility, and delight."
Brian M. Gunn, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 12/27/1998
Review:"[A] short book that should go a long way toward reuniting poetry and the public....[A]n authoritative yet accessible introduction to the tools of the poet's trade that can be read with profit by the serious student and the amateur alike."
David Barber, Atlantic Monthly, March 1999

Book Description: Farrar, Straus Giroux Inc, United States, 1998. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 191 x 127 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The Poet Laureate's clear and entertaining account of how poetry works. "Poetry is a vocal, which is to say a bodily, art," Robert Pinsky declares in "The Sounds of Poetry." "The medium of poetry is the human body: the column of air inside the chest, shaped into signifying sounds in the larynx and the mouth. In this sense, poetry is as physical or bodily an art as dancing." As Poet Laureate, Pinsky is one of America's best spokesmen for poetry. In this fascinating book, he explains how poets use the "technology" of poetry--its sounds--to create works of art that are "performed" in us when we read them aloud. He devotes brief, informative chapters to accent and duration, syntax and line, like and unlike sounds, blank and free verse. He cites examples from the work of fifty different poets--from Shakespeare, Donne, and Herbert to W. C. Williams, Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, C. K. Williams, Louise Gluck, and Frank Bidart. This ideal introductory volume belongs in the library of every poet and student of poetry.
