In this refreshing and inspiring book, Phil Roberts shows that poetry, like music, is based on sound. He illustrates his points with lively examples ranging from nursery rhymes and limericks to recent experimental forms as well as more familiar work. The book ends with a Millennium Anthology, a salute to the poetry of the past thousand years, including poems from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. For the reader wanting to know more about the ancient and mysterious art of poetry, this new edition of Phil Robert's classic is a must. No library descriptions found. |

It's split into relatively short chapters, each on a different aspect so is easy to pick up and put down and read at the same time as other books. Excellent anthology section too. (
