THE PURSUIT OF POETRY, A Guide to it's Understanding and Appreciation, shares 'insights into poetry; how it works and how its made. The book is easy to read, smartly organized, and comes with a handy glossary that is clear without being dumbed down.' -Reviewed by Gerry LaFemina, Author.
The first part of this book is an examination of poetry - how it is created and conceived, and how it can be understood and enjoyed. This part analyzes the sound of words, theory and form. The second part is a poetry handbook with an encyclopedia of poetic forms and examples of every pattern and form from ballads to ballades, from lyrics to epics, from sonnets to sestinas, from blank verse to free verse.
