Scope and Contents

The critical text on the loose sheet by Augusto De Campos compares cummings' poetry to Mallarme's Un Coup de Des. De Campos notes that in contrast to lettrisme, in cummings' poetry the words are not dissociated from the meaning nor are letters valid by themselves. De Campos believes that the word expressionism (typographical gesturing) and disfigurement of the discursive in cummings' poetry find their best visual arts equivalent in the works of Paul Klee.

Scope and Contents This is a "how to" book for aspiring poets as the author explains various elements of poetry and supplies entertaining exercises to describe the concepts of meter, rhyme, form, diction and poetics to the reader. Review from Publishers Weekly described the following. In this delightfully erudite, charming and soundly pedagogical guide to poetic form, British actor (narrator of the Harry Potter movies, among other roles), novelist and secret poet Fry leads the reader through a series of lessons on meter, rhythm, rhyme and stanza length and reveals the structural logic of every imaginable poetic form, including the haiku, the ballad, the ode and the sonnet.
