Descargar libros en línea ebooks A Poetry Handbo

With passion, wit, and good common sense, the celebrated poet Mary Oliver tells of the basic ways a poem is built—meter and rhyme, form and diction, sound and sense. She talks of iambs and trochees, couplets and sonnets, and how <i>and why</i> this should matter to anyone writing or reading poetry. Drawing on poems from Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, and others, Oliver imparts an extraordinary amount of information in a remarkably short space.<br /><br /> “Mary Oliver would probably never admit to anything so grandiose as an effort to connect the conscious mind and the heart (that’s what she says <i>poetry </i>can do), but that is exactly what she accomplishes in this stunning little handbook.”—<i>Los Angeles Times </i><br />
