Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a beginner's guide to understanding and appreciating poetry. The author contends that a true appreciation of poetry must arise out of one's own genuine understanding and experience of it, and so this book aims to provide foundational knowledge that will help readers find their own enjoyment in poetry. The author emphasizes understanding the nature and inner meaning of poetry before trying to analyze it through literary criticism, believing that the reader should be able to appreciate poetry on an intuitive level before trying to dissect it on an academic one. The author also addresses the question of what poetry can do for us, including providing delight, solace, revelation, and uplift. The author concludes by presenting a detailed study of how to better appreciate poetry, including how to cultivate a taste for different kinds of poetry, how to approach the study of a poem, and how to teach poetry in a way that inspires deeper understanding and enjoyment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
