<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Two esteemed poets collaborated on this intimate and useful anthology illuminating the history, practice, and wonder of a most elusive art. Intended for those who love poetry, including teachers, readers, writers, and students, "The Making of a Poem" will be valued by those who want to understand form--sonnet, ballad, villanelle, sestina--and the terms, names, and histories of various poetic forms.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Two of our foremost poets provide here a lucid, straightforward primer that looks squarely at some of the headaches and mysteries of poetic form: a book for readers who have always felt that an understanding of form (sonnet, ballad, villanelle, sestina, among others) would enhance their appreciation of poetry. Tracing the exuberant history of forms, they devote one chapter to each form, offering explanation, close reading, and a rich selection of examplars that amply demonstrate the power and possibility of that form.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A generous and exquisitely selective anthology of poetry forms that may make you decide to give up E-mail and start writing sestinas and villanelles.--Francine Prose "Elle"<br><br>A marvelous new anthology... intended for readers daunted by terminology and complex poetic forms.-- "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"<br><br>Much more poetry than commentary appears, making the book both a splendid classroom text and, since the selections are top-drawer poems by first-rate poets, a book any poetry lover or would-be poetry lover may learn from and love.-- "Booklist"<br><br>This is the book writers and readers, teachers and students, have been dreaming of--canny, generous, and practical, Boland and Strand are ideal guides through the golden labyrinth of poetry at its most ingenious and commanding. A marvelous collection!--J.D. McClatchy<br>
