Overview: From Beowulf to Robert Frost, this introduction to the principles and processes of poetry shows and trains the reader how to approach, grasp, and enjoy all the different kinds of poetry for himself. It incorporates the best contemporary thinking on the subject without being captured by any single academic ideology. It is also a self-contained anthology, with more than 150 poems cited and discussed. Professor Zillman first surveys and sorts out the many definitions of poetry, tells how poetry is distinct from all the other arts, and pinpoints the special characteristics of the creative process and of the minds of those we call "poet." He then describes and illustrates every tool, device, and implement in the poetic arsenal-including rhythm, sound, stanza forms, poem forms, free verse, sprung rhythm, and all the host of poetic imagery and figures of speech. This section is reinforced by a "Historical View" of the heroic couplet, blank verse, and the sonnet. The third and final section, with multiple examples, accounts for the whole range of poetic practice-including narrative, dramatic, and lyric genres. In the lyric survey, Zillman shows how major themes such as Death, Love, God-and-Man, and The City have been dealt with by poets old and new. A comprehensive final chapter is devoted to a "Reading of Six Sonnets [by Shakespeare, Milton, Keats, Hopkins, Frost, and Barker] from Five Centuries" and brings to bear on these poems a synthesis of the poetic principles and techniques with which the reader has become acquainted. It shows him how to apply what he has learned to any poem in English.
