Description
The Poetry Handbook: For Readers and Writers by Dinah Livingstone is a comprehensive guide to understanding contemporary poetry. It explores traditional metres, sound patterns, and forms, while placing equal emphasis on the more complex questions of rhythm, sound, and shape in modern poetry. This handbook delves into the content and scope of poetry, examining its role in society, both in Britain and internationally. A chapter on translating poetry is also included, providing insight into this often-challenging aspect of literary study. The book concludes with suggestions for finding contemporary poetry in Britain today. Suitable for those interested in poetry, including workshop members, students, and individual readers, this handbook offers a valuable resource for exploring the world of modern verse.
