Reading the Poetry of First Isaiah provides a literary and
historical study of the prophetic poetry of First Isaiah, an
underappreciated but highly sophisticated collection of poems in
the Hebrew Bible. Informed by recent developments in biblical
studies and broader trends in the study of poetry, Dr J. Blake
Couey articulates a fresh account of Biblical Hebrew poetry and
argues that careful attention to poetic style is crucial for the
interpretation of these texts. Discussing lineation, he explains
that lines serve important rhetorical functions in First Isaiah,
but the absence of lineated manuscripts from antiquity makes it
necessary to defend proposed line divisions using criteria such as
parallelism, rhythm, and syntax. He examines poetic structure, and
highlights that parallelism and enjambment create a sense of
progression between individual lines, which are tightly joined to
form couplets, triplets, quatrains, and occasionally even longer
groups. Later, Dr Couey treats imagery and metaphor in First
Isaiah. A striking variety of images-most notably agricultural and
animal imagery-appear in diverse contexts in these poems, often
with rich figurative significance.
