Description
Poetry has a profound impact on our understanding of language and its role in human expression. This concept is often at the heart of discussions about poetry itself, with some arguing that it encompasses a wide range of forms and styles. In this Very Short Introduction, Bernard O'Donoghue explores the diverse ways in which poetry has been written and perceived throughout history, from ancient Greece to contemporary times. He also examines the debates surrounding poetry's value and purpose, including its potential for public utility and responsibility. By examining these questions, O'Donoghue provides a thought-provoking exploration of what poetry is and why it matters.
