Patterned poems, also called shaped verse, are part of a long tradition that extends from Alexandrian Greek poets to Lewis Carroll and beyond. The poems in this book, written by the poet John Hollander, are on subjects ranging from a beach umbrella and a popsicle to time, love and idea. First published in 1969, the book has now been expanded to include ten recent poems in addition to the original 25, plus an introduction in which Hollander reflects on what a shaped poem is and how and why he wrote them. There are also explanatory comments for each poem." // Large black letters on upper 3/4 front cover for Title, above smaller letters for Author name on lower middle front cover. A 1" soft crease across top right front cover corner (essentially flat, truly nugatory), else FLAWLESS. No previous owner names; NO rubbing wear; sharp corners; NO remainder marks.
