How to Write Poetry
by Ethel Maude Colson
It
is assumed that those sufficiently interested in the writing of poetry
to read books about it already are acquainted with the little that may
be known of the laws of English prosody or at least know how and where
to find them. And those who desire to follow far the keen study of
poetic production are commended to such admirable works as Max Eastman's
sympathetic treatise on The Enjoyment of Poetry, C. E. Andrews
enlightening and comprehensive volume, T he Reading and Writing of
Verse, Marguerite Wilkinson's The New Voices, An Introduction to Can
temporary Poetry; and The New Era in American Poetry, by Louis
Untermeyer. Each of these books, especially, perhaps, that of Professor
Andrews, will help the serious, poetic student to much that he ought to
know.
