Opis

SONG AND DANCE is a book of original poems with a variety of uses. a) The poems may be enjoyed just for themselves. b) The poems in the first section, "On Poetry," offer a challenge to contemporary poets to return sound and rhythm as significant components of current poetry. The author feels that in the modern poet's determination to avoid strict meter and automatic end rhymes, we have lost two of poetry's most powerful tools: rhythm and sound. This group of poems can spark a lively discussion in classes, workshops, or poetry groups. c) The second section, Poetry's Variety, offers poems in a wide range of forms, voices, and perspectives. This section is particularly designed for classroom use at high school and college levels, or just as a personal workshop. It offers a great variety of models for students to write 'in the style of'', to stretch their range of forms, perspectives, and points of view, in the process of finding their own unique voices. There is a 40% discount for teachers and students buying the book from this website. E-mail the author at pbrooks@whidbey.net for the discount code.
