Very Good in Dustjacket. 0195198417. 236 pages. hardcover. keywords: Poetry Anthology. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Sonnet comes from the Italian sonetto, meaning little song or sound; its charm derives from its being not a piece of poetic mathematics but a form of poetic freedom, a form so easily grasped as to make it especially appropriate for anthologizing for the casual reader. Poets as popular as Edwin Arlington Robinson and as maverick as Dylan Thomas and John Berryman have found it suitable for their poetic vision; Shakespeare and Frost were among the supreme masters of the art. Robert Nye has chosen some 350 sonnets written from the sixteenth century to the present by a host of English and American authors. In his introduction he notes that ' 'Far from being confined to the musings of yearning suitors and dejected lovers, the sonnet has accommodated a wide range of subject matter. Thus A Book of Sonnets includes poems for every possible preoccupation : saints, lunar eclipses, buttered pippin-pies, war, a white spider, factory- workers, the end of the world, a drunkard smashing a mirror in a South American hotel, even card games. Containing as it does nearly four hundred poems by more than a hundred poets, A Book of Sonnets provides a new, yet representative, perspective on English poetry. The range of the selection and its particular combination of the familiar with the unexpected will give pleasure to all readers. inventory #5890. Seller Inventory # z5890
