Full Description
The guiding philosophy behind this introduction to poetry is that a reader's personal response to poetry forms the foundation of his or her literary experience. The book relies on engaging selections, a strong emphasis on the writing process, and a visually appealing design to capture students' and instructors' attention. The first four chapters offer comprehensive coverage of reading and writing, including a highly praised Chapter 4: "Argumentation: Interpreting and Evaluating Poetry." The anthology section is organized alphabetically and includes a wide selection of poets from the United States and abroad. Author photos and bios help students better connect with the individual identities of each poet.
