Description
Poetic Form: An Introduction by Michael D. Hurley and Michael O'Neill provides a comprehensive exploration of poetic form, shedding new light on its role in shaping and animating poetry. This accessible introduction is ideal for both undergraduate students and experienced readers of poetry, offering a fresh perspective on the elements of form that underpin lyric, sonnet, elegy, soliloquy, dramatic monologue, and ballad and narrative. The book's engaging approach encourages readers to cultivate techniques for reading poems as poems, rather than simply interpreting their content. With its lively and wide-ranging discussion, Poetic Form is an excellent resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of poetry and its various forms.
