A Poet's Craft - A Complete Guide to Making and Sharing Your Poetry (Hardcover, New)

This is a major new guide to writing and understanding poetry.A Poet's Craft transcends the built-in limitations of current books, combining the best of all three types of poetry-writing guides: textbooks for academic use, general guides to writing poetry, and guides to writing in form. Like the textbooks, it includes poetry-writing exercises and discussion of classic and contemporary poems as examples, and is logically organized to provide a complete overview of the elements of poetry-writing, from diction to trope to free verse. Like the general poetry guides, it has a tone lively and mature enough for the non-undergraduate, and includes sections on journaling and inspiration, revision, publishing, and even how to assemble a poetry book. Like the form guides, A Poet's Craft provides an introduction to meter and to writing formal poetry. Finch's book goes further than any form guide now available to give readers a thorough, eclectic, and exciting introduction to poetic form.
