Poems, Poets, Poetry: An Introduction and Anthology

Beskrivelse

Written by a preeminent critic and legendary teacher, this text and anthology presents the incisive, practical methods of reading and writing that Helen Vendler has used for decades to demystify poetry for her students and introduce them to its artistry and pleasure.

"I’ve used many different introduction to poetry textbooks, and I’ve never seen one that comes close to this one. Others isolate techniques and components; Vendler’s book is a sustained training in truly attentive reading."
