A Little Book on Form
Author: Robert Hass
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062332449
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
An acute and deeply insightful book of essays exploring poetic form and the role of instinct and imagination within form—from former poet laureate, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winning author Robert Hass. Robert Hass—former poet laureate, winner of the National Book Award, and recipient of the Pulitzer Prize—illuminates the formal impulses that underlie great poetry in this sophisticated, graceful, and accessible volume of essays drawn from a series of lectures he delivered at the renowned Iowa Writers’ Workshop. A Little Book on Form brilliantly synthesizes Hass’s formidable gifts as both a poet and a critic and reflects his profound education in the art of poetry. Starting with the exploration of a single line as the basic gesture of a poem, and moving into an examination of the essential expressive gestures that exist inside forms, Hass goes beyond approaching form as a set of traditional rules that precede composition, and instead offers penetrating insight into the true openness and instinctiveness of formal creation. A Little Book on Form is a rousing reexamination of our longest lasting mode of literature from one of our greatest living poets.

Pages : 167
Book Description
There are; however; some facts in explanation of the appearance of this volume at this time which require to be set down. And a number of circumstances in relation to the material here collected may be told; I think; to general interest. With these matters I am probably as familiar as anyone; and so have the great privilege of undertaking to record them. The ten highly humorous and altogether charming essays which form the first part of this volume have led a rather queer life so far—though I think their existence will be a very happy one from now on. First; they were not "essays" at the time of their birth. They came into the world as "articles." So they were spoken of by the young journalist who at various times and with very little to do about the matter wrote them in the course of a bewildering variety of other activities. Or; to be still more frank; he was perhaps more apt to refer to them; when he did refer to them at all; as "Sunday stories;" done as a part of his job with the New York Times Sunday Magazine. What they were called; however; is neither here nor there. The thing is that they are here. —from this book The Circus, and Other Essays and Fugitive Pieces by Joyce Kilmer: Delve into a collection of enchanting essays and fugitive pieces in "The Circus." Joyce Kilmer's essays provide readers with glimpses of everyday life, reflecting on nature, art, and the beauty of the world around us. The book celebrates Kilmer's poetic sensibility and contemplative observations, inviting readers to find moments of wonder and inspiration in the ordinary and extraordinary aspects of existence.

Poetic Reflections: The book exhibits Kilmer's poetic prose, imbuing the essays with a lyrical quality that enriches the reading experience.

Book Description
The Works of Jack London: Novels, Short Stories, Poems, Plays, Memoirs & Essays is a comprehensive collection that showcases the diverse talents of the iconic American author. Jack London's works, known for their naturalistic themes and vivid storytelling, capture the essence of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

His socialist beliefs and love for the wilderness shaped his writing, leading to the creation of some of the most enduring works in American literature. London's passion for social justice and exploration infuses his writing with a sense of urgency and authenticity. I highly recommend The Works of Jack London to any reader interested in literature that explores the depths of human nature and the untamed beauty of the natural world.
