Description
Reginald Gibbons explores how poetry thinks, examining the circumstances that shape a poet's native language, choice of words and topics, and the mentality they share with other writers. Through case studies from his own experience in writing and translating poetry, he reveals the persistence of classical modes and images into the 21st century.
The book shows how the language used in composing a poem can both limit and enable what a poet thinks and says. Gibbons writes in a clear and accessible style, making this book useful for practicing poets, general readers interested in poetry, and writers looking to understand the role of their native language in shaping their work.
