Synopsis

This book is a collection of the author's thoughts on the art of poetry, and in particular the way in which poets can achieve the effect of the 'bathos' or 'sinking'. The author argues that the bathos is a legitimate and effective literary technique, and he provides numerous examples from the works of famous poets to support his case. He also discusses the various ways in which poets can use the bathos, and he offers advice on how to avoid the pitfalls that can occur when using this technique. The book is a valuable resource for poets and students of poetry, and it provides a unique and insightful perspective on the art of writing poetry. The author's insights into the bathos are original and thought-provoking, and they offer a new way of understanding the work of some of the greatest poets in the English language.
