Summary:
"No literary form is as admired and feared as
poetry
. Admired for its lengthy pedigree?a line of poets extending back to a time before recorded history?and a ubiquitous presence in virtually all cultures,
poetry
is also revered for its great beauty and the powerful emotions it evokes. But the form has also instilled trepidation in its many admirers mainly because of a lack of familiarity and knowledge.
Poetry
demands more from readers?intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually?than other literary forms. Most of us started out loving
poetry
because it filled our beloved children's books from Dr. Seuss to Robert Louis Stevenson. Eventually, our reading shifted to prose and later when we encountered
poetry
again, we had no recent experience to make it feel familiar. But reading
poetry
doesn't need to be so overwhelming. In an entertaining and engaging voice, Thomas C. Foster shows readers how to overcome their fear of
poetry
and learn to enjoy it once more." --Back cover.
