Sinopsis
Explore how words shape poetry and how language itself becomes the subject of art.
This nonfiction work examines the role of words in poetry, asking what a word is and how it works within creative writing. It argues that poetry is a form of language where sounds and meanings shape our experience, not just ideas on the page. The author discusses the risks and pleasures of “make-believe” in art and why poets help us live our lives by forming vivid, sustainable visions of reality.
- Understand how poetry uses words as both sounds and meanings.
- See why the imagination is central to how poetry relates to real life.
- Explore the balance between truth, beauty, and belief in poetic language.
- Learn how the poet’s craft links language, thought, and perception.
Ideal for readers of literary criticism and anyone curious about how poetry communicates through word and sound, not just through plot or argument.

Excerpt from The Language of Poetry
Language of Poetry were read to audiences at Prince ton University in the spring of 1941 under the auspices of the Creative Arts Program. The primary aim of the symposium was not a series of lectures but the present book. The contributors were invited to prepare essays which should not sacrifice the dith cult implications of the subject to the limited capacity of the ear of even the best audience.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of poetry, challenging conventional views that it is merely a form of emotional expression or a collection of beautiful words. The author argues that paradox is central to poetic language and that the power of poetry lies in its ability to express profound truths through seemingly contradictory statements. The author traces the use of paradox in poetry through the ages, examining the works of poets like William Wordsworth, Pope, Blake, and Coleridge. The author asserts that poetry is ultimately concerned with a deeper understanding of human experience, and that paradox is an essential tool for poets to access this understanding. He also explores the connection between myth and poetry, arguing that myths are not simply quaint stories but rather expressions of a shared consciousness that binds humanity together and gives meaning to the world. The author suggests that the decline of myth in modern culture is responsible for a decline in the quality of poetry, leaving poets with a fragmented world view and limited artistic possibilities. Ultimately, this book offers a unique and insightful perspective on the power of poetic language and its ability to illuminate fundamental truths about our shared human experience.
