Book by Ravette Books

Présentation de l'éditeur: Instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of poetry and verse (bluffers might be surprised to discover that there is a difference), with The Bluffer s Guide to Poetry. Never again confuse an anapest with a distich, a panegyric with a polemical, or a haiku with someone clearing their throat. Bask in the admiration of your fellow literati as you pronounce confidently on the comparative merits of a rhapsody and an elegy, or a dactyl with a spondee, and effortlessly learn how to hold your own when extolling the sublime gifts of whichever poet you ve decided is the greatest of all. DO SAY Yes, I suppose it s about time I rediscovered (insert name here), although I m afraid that I ve always found him/her a little too deceptive. On the other hand he/she also has a tendency towards the tiresomely reductive. In the past my response to his/her work can only be described as lacklustre...but everybody deserves a second chance. DON T SAY There was a young lady from Bude/ Who went for a swim in the nude/... The Bluffer's® Guides: the 5-million-copy bestselling book series. These short, humorous guides contain all the facts you need to become an instant expert.
