The Sounds of Poetry: A Brief Guide Pinsky Robert
The Poet Laureate's clear and entertaining account of how poetry works.Poetry is a vocal, which is to say a bodily, art, Robert Pinsky declares in The Sounds of Poetry. In this sense, poetry is as physical or bodily an art as dancing.As Poet Laureate, Pinsky is one of America's best spokesmen for poetry. The medium of poetry is the human body: the column of air inside the chest, shaped into signifying sounds in the larynx and the mouth.
He cites examples from the work of fifty different poets--from Shakespeare, Donne, and Herbert to W. C. In this fascinating book, he explains how poets use the technology of poetry--its sounds--to create works of art that are performed in us when we read them aloud.He devotes brief, informative chapters to accent and duration, syntax and line, like and unlike sounds, blank and free verse. Williams, Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, C. K.
