The Art of Poetry by Shira Wolosky is a brilliant introduction to a literary genre that is both seductive and difficult to master because to its concentration on wordplay, verbal harmony, and avoiding the strictly literal. The Art of Poetry is a singularly thorough, step-by-step introduction to poetic form that progresses from lesser elements like the word, line, and image to larger ones like verse types and voice. Wolosky examines in detail how poetry works while providing masterful readings of some of the best lyric poetry in the English and American traditions in fourteen captivating, beautifully written chapters.
