Product Description
Can you tell an iamb from a trochee? An anapest from an amphibrach? Why do children always take such delight in dactylic tetrameter? Is a ballad the same as a ballade? What is poetic rhythm? In this clever little book, Scottish poet Octavia Wynne examines the elements of poetry, from its various feet, meters and lines, through its patterns, stanzas and rhymes, right up to the poetic forms themselves, with ancient and modern examples from William Shakespeare to Dr. Seuss.
Customer Reviews
This Wooden Book is small so one can't expect it to contain all poetic styles, let alone the more difficult-to-mimic sonnet styles. Definitely a good read for someone who doesn't like big, thick books but wants to be able to speak with passable knowledge about poetry (and maybe try a little for themselves, too).
