I appreciated the novel approach of the author who distinguished poetry as a separate language in his discussion of the nature of poetry. His clear prose and use of examples from great poems helped make this a rich source for both those new to poetry and more experienced poetry lovers. ( ) This is a wonderful book and about as kind and wise a book as you could find about what it means to write poetry and why. While the book trends towards more classicism in its second half it is , as the writer was, an extraordinarily generous description of the art by one of its great practitioners. If you are of a short attention span read the first four chapters. It is also well written which is not, from experience, something one can be sure of even though the writing is about writing. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
From one of the most esteemed American poets of the twenty-first century comes a celebration of poetry and an invitation for anyone to experience its beauty and wonder. Full of fresh and exciting insights, Making Your Own Days illuminates the somewhat mysterious subject of poetry for those who read it and for those who write it--as well as for those who would like to read and write it better. By treating poetry not as a special use of language but as a distinct language--unlike the one used in prose and conversation--Koch clarifies the nature of poetic inspiration, how poems are written and revised, and what happens to the heart and mind while reading a poem. Koch also provides a rich anthology of more than ninety works from poets past and present. Lyric poems, excerpts from long poems and poetic plays, poems in English, and poems in translation from Homer and Sappho to Lorca, Snyder, and Ashbery; each selection is accompanied by an explanatory note designed to complement and clarify the text and to put pleasure back into the experience of poetry.
