In a wide-ranging and compelling account of the life of metrical
and free verse in the twentieth century, poet and critic Jon Silkin
deepens our understanding of the way poetry works on us. He begins
from the premiss that two modes of verse, free and metrical, engage
the creative energies of poetry now, creating a rich, fertile
environment capable of yielding work valuable to poetry itself and
to the society which has given it life. With a practitioner's
empathy Silkin reads the poetry of Whitman, Hopkins, Eliot, Pound,
Lawrence, Dylan Thomas, Bunting and eight British poets from the
post-second World War period to illustrate how free and metrical
verse create, separately or together, a poetic harmony.
Additionally, he includes crucial statements on modern poetry from
poets themselves, concluding with a fine memoir of Basil Bunting by
Connie Pickard, published in book-form for the first time.
