The Art Of series is a new line of books reinvigorating the practice of craft and criticism. Each book will be a brief, witty, and useful exploration of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry by a writer impassioned by a singular craft issue. The Art Of volumes will provide a series of sustained examinations of key but sometimes neglected aspects of creative writing by some of contemporary literature's finest practioners. "Poetry is the sound of language organized in lines." James Longenbach opens this provocative book with that essential statement. Through a range of examples--from Shakespeare and Milton to Ashbery and Glück--Longenbach describes the function of line in metered, rhymed, syllabic, and free-verse poetry.The Art of the Poetic Lineis a vital new resource by one of America's most important critics and most engaging poets.

While you may not agree with all of his conclusions, it's hard to fault either his passion or thoroughness. (On a personal note, I'm always impressed when I find myself arguing against the author as I read, and then find that he addresses the very points I'm making on the next page.) Think of it as a lineation seminar that you can carry with you and revisit at will. (It's even pocket-sized!)
Possibly a little advanced for poetry novices, but well worth the effort. A good read, good arguments, and extremely good value. Recommended. ( )
