Synopsis

For the reader wanting to know more about the ancient and mysterious art of poetry, this new edition of Phil Roberts's classic work is a must.In this refreshing and inspiring book, Phil Roberts shows that poetry, like music, is based on sound. He illustrates his points with lively examples ranging from nursery rhymes and limericks to recent experimental forms as well as more familiar work. The book ends with a Millennium Anthology, a salute to the poetry of the past thousand years, including poems from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
