Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Write Poetry It is assumed that those sufficiently interested in the writing of poetry to read books about it already are acquainted with the little that may be known of the laws of English prosody or at least know how and where to find them. And those who desire to follow far the keen study of poetic production are commended to such admirable works as Max Eastman's sympathetic treatise on The Enjoyment of Poetry, C. E. Andrews enlightening and comprehensive volume, T he Reading and Writing of Verse, Marguerite Wilkinson's The New Voices, An Introduction to Can temporary Poetry; and The New Era in American Poetry, by Louis Untermeyer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verse Writing: A Practical Handbook for College, Classes and Private Guidance, With Exercises Poetry is certainly not the least of the major arts. Indeed, the opinion has been well supported that it is the greatest. However, it must be admitted that neither music nor painting has suffered such contumely as poetry in these latter days. No one has asserted that the modern world has outlived either painting or music. Yet this has frequently been said of poetry. Poetry has somehow been assumed to be inconsistent with truth and reality. Science, held responsible for much iconoclasm, has been declared to be the mortal enemy of poetry. But why of poetry more than of the other arts? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Princeton Verse II, 1919 When I came back to Princeton in 1900, as a teacher of reading in English literature, poetry was at a low ebb. Most of the students frankly said they did not care for it, and the few who tried to write in verse were regarded as eccentric fellows, hardly worthy of membership in an upper-class club. My first task was to persuade the boys that poetry was the most humane and intimate of all the liberal arts; that it had something to say, in one or other of its many forms, to every man about the mean ing of nature and life; and that one of the chief glories of the English-speaking race was its rich and noble utterance in poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's Garden of Verses The greatest task which confronts the little Child is the mastering of the mother tongue in its three phases Speech, reading, and writing. In the accomplishment of this task, nothing is so helpful as the hearing and reading of large quantities of suitable poetry. This fact was well known to the people of antiquity. Before the age of writ ing, the laws and traditions of each tribe were handed down through the medium of verse. Verse was chosen rather than prose, because its form facilitated memorizing and furnished a guarantee of accuracy. When the law or tradition had been once thrown into the poetic form it was difficult to change its meaning without destroying its form and this would at once furnish a test of correctness.

The best argument that can be advanced in favor of marriage is that marriage has been found happy. The best of all reasons for reading poetry is because one loves it.

Download or read book A Poetry Primer Classic Reprint written by Gerald Sanders and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Poetry Primer This book is designed to help students in the early stages of their study, when poetry is like something behind locked doors for which they have no key. It is meant to be helpful particularly in introductory courses Where considerable poetry is read, and where, without devoting too much time to this, students are required to know something of the elements Of prosody. It is written simply, therefore, in the hope that once it is in the hands of students, they can teach themselves; it makes little effort to consider matters of chief interest to the advanced student and the critic; and it intro duces no innovations. It might be well if all the teachers and critics and writers of poetry would meet and settle once for all the ques tions of poetic and prosodic terminology, probably scrapping the present terminology, and even the present system of teaching prosody. But in view of the swiftness with which proponents and opponents of any small change rush to battle, it is unlikely that such a convention will be held this year; and until it is held, it seems best to employ the terms used for some hundreds of years Without material damage to the quality of English poetry or to its appreciation by those not writing it. Experience shows that many students need to know not only something about rhythm and metre and stanzas and feet, but how to read a poem intelligently. I have, therefore, added a very ele mentary section, included so far as I know in no handbook of this sort, on how to study the content of a poem. And I have tried to deal as fully as possible in so short a work with such troublesome forms as the sonnet, the ode, and free verse, in order to make these as clear as possible to students. For helpful comments on the manuscript, I am indebted to Professors Alma Blount, C. F. Harrold, and H. W. Reninger; and for permission to use some of their verse to illustrate a number of forms, to a number Of my former students.

Download or read book The Yale Record Book of Verse 1872 1922 Classic Reprint written by Francis Woolsey Bronson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yale Record Book of Verse, 1872-1922 IT was a happy idea of nh. Francis Bronson and his col leagues on the editorial board of the Tale Record for the Class of 1922, to blow the dust off the files of fifty years, and save from the shadow of Oblivion verses that echo the laughter of twelve college generations. Humor and song are eternal expressions of University Youth. What ever undergraduate conversation may lack in weight of thought and height of theme, it abounds in humor humor as harmless as it is genuine. And it is as natural for undergraduates to write verse as it is for them to sing in the shower-bath. All boys are poets at heart. This does not mean that they all compose melodiously. It is only at rare intervals that we read a new poem that we should like to read again. But in college life, we know that if adolescence has not been metrically impressive, maturity will be equally barren. There are Obscure stu dents in universities who later develop into famous men of business, men of science, men of politics, men of letters, whose ability is unsuspected both by classmates and by teachers; but there are no Obscure poets. Men do not be come poets after twenty-two any more Often than they become pianists. The best verse in this volume is that written by Stu dents who are now professional poets - such as Brian Hooker, W. R. Benet, and Stephen V. Benet. But there are many other metrical conceits, both pretty and witty, that exhibit either the fundamental humor Of youth, orthat allude to some contemporary Object of mirth. This little book, therefore, has a value apart from its merits as a sheaf of light verse; it is a contribution to the history of fun at Yale. American college humorous publications do well to confine themselves chiefly to subjects of local interest and importance; while some of these pages are cheerful reading anywhere, most of them will appeal mainly to the students and alumni Of Yale.
