Description

Glyn Maxwell's On Poetry is a deeply personal and insightful guide to the art of poetry. Drawing on his own experiences as a poet and teacher, Maxwell explores the ways in which poetry arises from our most fundamental human needs: breath, heartbeat, footstep, posture.

Through a series of short essays and reflections, Maxwell reveals his poetic philosophy and shares examples from canonical poets to illustrate his points. With candour and wit, he takes us inside the world of creative writing, where four young hopefuls grapple with the challenges of love, sex, and hard work.

This beautifully written book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in poetry and its power to express the human condition.
