Setting aside the vexed question of what poetry is, he replaces it with the more helpful and exciting question: What might poetry be?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy focusing on the future of poetry in this way, he affirms that a poem may take a new shape or behave differently to previous poems. The book acknowledges that to have a sense of what a poem might do, we must first see what other poems have already done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRedmond pays attention to traditional forms, such as the sonnet, the epistle and the ode, and to traditional rhyming techniques, but focuses on the fundamental principles of poetic construction: Who is speaking and to whom? Where is the speaker located? And why does their speaking take this form?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuch questions encourage readers to experiment with poetry, and to create something fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47463235420396,"sku":"9781405124805","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781405124805-how-to-write-a-poem.jpg?v=1775029745"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/john-redmond.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
