Inhaltsangabe

Through a fresh, imaginative format?prefaces and afterwords that sketch the character of the poet, that provide insight into how he writes and what inspires him?Richard Thomas has cap­tured in this book of his own poems the flavor and excitement of a poetry read­ing. The book’s three sections (My Friends; My Loved Ones; My Self) not only showcase the poem but also ac­quaint the reader with the process of writing poetry.

 

Defining his goal in this book, Thomas says, ?I hope untrained readers may better understand the ingredients of poetry?metaphor, ambiguity, mys­tery. As for experienced readers, I hope they will find the comments as interest­ing as those they might hear at a read­ing.” This is a nondidactic book for creative writing classes and a text for both English education courses and lan­guage arts methods courses in educa­tion. And of course a book for those who appreciate poetry.
