Description du livre Softcover. Etat : New. 1. Demystify and appreciate the pleasures of poetrySometimes it seems like there are as many definitions of poetry as there are poems. Coleridge defined poetry as the best words in the best order. St. Augustine called it the Devils wine. For Shelley, poetry was the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds. But no matter how you define it, poetry has exercised a hold upon the hearts and minds of people for more than five millennia. Thats because for the attentive reader, poetry has the power to send chills shooting down the spine and lightning bolts flashing in the brain - to throw open the doors of perception and hone our sensibilities to a scalpels edge.Poetry For Dummies is a great guide to reading and writing poems, not only for beginners, but for anyone interested in verse.
