An Introduction to English Poetry | James Fenton

2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read

James Fenton's An Introduction to English Poetry offers a master class for both the reader and writer of poetry. Simply and elegantly written and discussing the work of poets as wide ranging as W. H. Auden, Dylan Thomas, Tennyson, Kipling, Milton and Blake, it covers all varieties of poetic practice in English. 'It is hard to imagine a beginner who could not learn from [this book]. If you know a young poet, give them this' The Times Literary Supplement

bailed

It's my 1st bail of the year. I'm so disappointed to hate this book, I found it dull, dry and uninspiring. I learnt so much more from Paul Tran discussing how poetry works through form in 10 minutes, than over an hour reading this book.

AllDebooks I started A Gentleman in Moscow last night @jenniferw88 I absolutely love it and cannot put it down. I'd forgotten how much I loved Russian literature, now want to revisit & read all the greats 2y

jenniferw88 @AllDebooks yay! It was a close call between this and Priory for being the top book of 2022 for me. 2y
