Description
The most compelling, original, charismatic and poetic guide to poetry that I can remember. A handbook written from the heart by one of the true modern masters of the craft. Simon Armitage
A collection of short essays and reflections on poetry from the acclaimed British poet Glyn Maxwell, On Poetry illustrates Maxwell’s poetic philosophy: that the greatest verse arises from a harmony of mind and body, and that poetic forms originate in human necessities – breath, heartbeat, footstep, posture.
Maxwell speaks of his inspirations and his models, taking us inside the strange world of the Creative Writing Class, where four young hopefuls grapple with love, sex, cheap wine and hard work. With examples from canonical poets, this is a beautiful, accessible guide to the most ancient and sublime of the realms of literature.
