Can you tell an iamb from a trochee? An anapest from an amphibrach?
Why do children always take such delight in dactylic tetrameter? Is
a ballad the same as a ballade, and what is poetic rhythm? In this
neat little book, Scottish poet Octavia Wynne examines the elements
of poetry, from its various feet, metres and lines, through its
patterns, stanzas and rhymes, right up to the poetic forms
themselves, with ancient and modern examples from William
Shakespeare to Dr.Seuss. WOODEN BOOKS are small but packed with
information. "Fascinating" FINANCIAL TIMES. "Beautiful" LONDON
REVIEW OF BOOKS. "Rich and Artful" THE LANCET. "Genuinely
mind-expanding" FORTEAN TIMES. "Excellent" NEW SCIENTIST.
"Stunning" NEW YORK TIMES. Small books, big ideas.
