A Poet's Craft is a comprehensive book on writing poetry from inspiration through publication. It includes chapters on the Muse, imagery, language and diction, revision, giving a poetry reading--and also perhaps the most thorough introduction to writing in meter, rhyme, and form available anywhere today. It also includes hundreds of classic and contemporary poems as well as numerous quotes on poetry. In short, A Poet's Craft is like an introduction to writing poetry, a history of poetry, a poetry anthology, a form handbook, and a poet's reflections on poetry all rolled into one.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Poet's Craft transcends the limitations of current books, combining the best of three types of poetry-writing guides: textbooks for academic use, general guides to writing poetry, and guides to writing in form. Like 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 general poetry guides, it has a tone lively and mature enough for the nonundergraduate, and includes sections on journaling and inspiration, revision, publishing, and even how to assemble a poetry book. Like form guides, A Poet's Craft provides an introduction to meter and to writing formal poetry. Finch's book goes further than any poetry-writing guide now available to give readers a thorough, eclectic, and exciting introduction to every aspect of the art of poetry. A major new guide to writing and understanding poetry Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780472033645
