Unlock how poetry moves us: learn the tools writers use to express passion and imagination.
This edition distills Beeching’s exploration of how poets convey feeling and vision through language. It looks at why metre matters, how rhythm shapes mood, and how poets “paint to the imagination” by summoning pictures with a single, powerful image. Drawing on whether Shakespeare, Milton, or Tennyson achieves the moment, the lectures illuminate the craft behind enduring lines and the choices poets make to move readers.
- Understand the link between emotion, form, and meaning in poetry
- See how metre and rhythm elevate speech into art
- Learn how imagery and comparison create quick, vivid pictures
- Explore examples that show revision, precision, and the craft of expression
Ideal for readers seeking a clear, practical look at how poetry works, from its core ideas to its best techniques.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a scholarly examination of poetry from the perspective of two of its defining characteristics: passion and the use of imagination. The author rejects the idea of a definitive definition for poetry, proposing instead that the most helpful definitions are either grounded in the opinions of critics or the insights of poets. The author then embarks on an exploration of how poetry differs from prose and other forms of writing, arguing that its essence lies in its passionate expression delivered through imaginative language. The author further highlights how this imaginative language can take many forms including allegory, simile, and metaphor. Ultimately, the book offers profound insights into what poetry is, how it works, and what its purpose is, equipping any reader -casual or dedicated poetry enthusiast alike- with the tools to appreciate it on a deeper level.
