Description
Reading Poetry offers a comprehensive guide to reading poetry. This third edition has been updated in response to current developments in poetry and poetic criticism, with new examples, exercises, chapters on 'world poetry' and 'eco-poetry', and an increased focus on American poetry. The book introduces readers to the skills and critical awareness needed to read poetry with enjoyment and insight, covering topics such as form, figurative language, genre, intertextuality, Caribbean poetry, world poetry, and the role of poetry in response to the ecological crisis. With 122 poems analysed and discussed, including full quotes, this book is suitable for individual study or as a comprehensive textbook. Workshop exercises at the end of each chapter, along with an extensive glossary of poetic and critical terms, provide a complete apprenticeship in reading poetry.
