In "Poetic Closure," distinguished literary scholar Barbara
Herrnstein Smith explores the provocative question: How do poems
end? To answer it, Smith examines numerous individual poems and
examples of common poetic forms in order to reveal the relationship
between closure and the overall structure and integrity of a poem.
First published in 1968, Smith's book remains essential reading in
poetic theory.
"Ranging from Elizabethan lyric through free and syllabic verse and
concrete poetry, "Poetic Closure" is a learned, witty, and richly
illustrated study of the behavior of poems. . . . It can be read,
enjoyed, studied by people who like reading poetry, including--I
would suspect--poets."--Richard M. Elman, "New York Times Book
Review"
