Poet John Hollander surveys the schemes, patterns, and forms of English verse in this classic text, illustrating each variation with an original and witty self-descriptive example. In new essays for this fourth edition, J. D. McClatchy and Richard Wilbur each offer a personal take on why the book has played such an important role in the education of young poets and student scholars. '€œHow lucky the young poet who discovers this wisest and most lighthearted of manuals.'€'€”James Merrill '€œMarvelously comprehensive, clarifying and useful, and a delight to read.'€'€”John Reardon, Los Angeles Times Book Review '€œA virtuoso performance and a mandatory text for poetry readers and practioners alike.'€'€”ALA Booklist
