On Poetry

Beri tahu saya ketika buku ditambahkan

On Poetry, the latest addition to the Oberon Masters series, is a collection of short essays and reflections on poetry from the acclaimed British poet Glyn Maxwell.
These essays illustrates Maxwell’s poetic philosophy, that the greatest verse arises from a harmony of mind and body, and that poetic forms originate in human necessities – breath, heartbeat, footstep, posture. He speaks of his inspirations, his models, and takes us inside the strange world of the Creative Writing Class, where four young hopefuls grapple with love, sex, cheap wine and hard work. Illustrated with examples from canonical poets, this is a beautiful and accessible guide to the most ancient and sublime of the realms of literature.
'The most compelling, original, charismatic and poetic guide to poetry that I can remember. A handbook written from the heart by one of the true modern masters of the craft.' Simon Armitage

T. S. Eliot said that to me in November 1950, in the form of the First Theodore Spencer Memorial Lecture at Harvard University. No I wasn’t there, I couldn’t make it, but still he said it to me.

The poetic encounter is a meeting in life. Let it be like that, let it be that. Whether or not I achieve that myself, only time will tell and it won’t tell me, but what I teach, all I teach, is how to aim there.

Look at me. Don’t look at me. Look by me into the past. Look past me into the distance.
