Description

<DIV><P><I>Versification: A Short Introduction </I>is written by one of Australia's most distinguished poets.

The book discusses poetic meter, and may be the only source you need.

McAuley devotes a short chapter to versification based on accent, syllable count, free verse and "classical" meters, but the book as a whole focuses on metrical verse and its constant reference back to stress in normal speech—it suceeds in showing meterical verse as a natural outgrowth of what we do naturally.

This dispels quickly any sense of the esoteric—poetry is of and for people in general not for a special literati.

After establishing meter in the normal sphere of speech, McAuley then discusses how abstract meterical patterns are actually applied and how variety is added to avoid a sing-song effect.</P></DIV>
