Making a Poem
Some Thoughts About Poetry And the People Who Write It
by Miller Williams
"Distinguished as a poet, a teacher, a scholar, and a publisher, Williams traverses a wealth of topics. He explores poetic techniques of line break, rhythm and meter, and the development of verse forms. In our technological age, he makes clear that poetry is essential to the human soul, showing the connection between scientists and humanists. Williams draws from experience to describe the importance of teaching poetry to prisoners, the value of the university and the small press in fostering poetry, and the relationship between writer and editor." "Making a Poem is an intimate, conversational treatise on poetry by a man of letters with decades' of practice in both the business and the craft of verse."--Jacket.
