This review is from: Poetic Meter and Poetic Form (Paperback)
Expensive isn't it! But it's the most excellent book on writing poetry and poetic form I've read. Fussell has a masterful understanding of the material and handles it with great style and insight.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent text, Mar 30 1999
This review is from: Poetic Meter and Poetic Form (Paperback)
I came across this book for my Poetic Analysis class in college. It is an exellent book on meter and form. I can't even say how much this book has helped me with both reading and writing poetry. If you want to write better poetry or understand the poetry you read, then this is a good book to pick up.

5.0 out of 5 stars a classic in the field of formal verse, May 1 1998
This review is from: Poetic Meter and Poetic Form (Paperback)
This book is a classic of prosodic exposition. (And understand, when I call a book a classic, I am not just lapsing into a cliche; it really IS a classic.) Fussell shows us the relations between form and content, between rhyme and rhythm on the one hand and the function of these formal devices to illuminate meaning on the other. The book also devotes a chapter to empirical observations on the properties of free verse, and it includes a concise bibliography of other works on prosody. Highly recommended.
