Description:

Who has not tried to write a poem? The poetic form of words seems to be rather easy. In its basic form, which we learn as children, the rhyming couplet is, in a child’s written and spoken words, pure joy - success! In the hands of a Shakespeare it is magnificent with a reach and understanding that the rest of us enjoy but are far from even attempting. As we listen to various poetic forms, schools and movements we can only react with wonder at how these innocent words are assembled to create symphonies of ideas, wonder and revelation. The emotions they seek to invoke can be anything from happiness to sadness, from love to revulsion. Arnold, Stevens, Keats, Akhmatova, Browning, Herrick, Hood, Killigrew are but a few of the roll-call of wordsmiths who with mere words create ravenous beauty that reveals tender lines and sensitive verse on how and why they are who they are. 01 - Poets on Poetry - An Introduction 02 - When I Write Poems by Anna Akhmatova 03 - Of My Poems by Thomas MacDonagh 04 - An Apology For Her Poetry by Duchess of Newcastle, Margaret Cavendish 05 - Sonnet 76 - Why is My Verse So Barren of New Pride by William Shakespeare 06 - The Austerity of Poetry by Matthew Arnold 07 - Of Modern Poetry by Wallace Stevens 08 - Poetry by Claude McKay 09 - The Poetry of Keats by George Meredith 10 - Future Poetry by Alice Meynell 11 - Sonnet 17 - Who Will Believe My Verse in Time to Come by William Shakespeare 12 - Poetic Eggs by Ezra Pound 13 - Poem by William Carlos Williams 14 - On the Grasshopper and Cricket by John Keats 15 - Ode on the Poetical Character by William Collins 16 - Introduction and Conclusion of a Long Poem by Alan Seeger 17 - A True Account of the Birth and Conception of a Late Famous Poem by Charles Sackville, Earl Of Dorset 18 - The Poem That Took the Place of a Mountain by Wallace Stevens 19 - The Poet and the Poem by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps 20 - Of English Verse by Edmund Waller 21 - Love, The Soul of Poetry by Anne Killigrew 22 - Why, If All Poets Crown Their Love with Verse by Emily Hickey 23 - Verse Making Was the Least of My Virtues by Robert Browning 24 - The Poet's Love-Song by Sarojini Naidu 25 - A Letter to a Brother of the Pen in Tribulation by Aphra Behn 26 - Not Every Day Fit for Verse by Robert Herrick 27 - On the Poetic Muse by George Moses Horton 28 - Sonnet - Written in Keats by Thomas Hood 29 - Sonnet 86 -Was It the Proud Full Sail of His Great Verse by William Shakespeare 30 - Song in Imitation of Shakespeare by James Beattie 31 - The High-toned Old Christian Woman by Wallace Stevens 32 - Poetry is a Destructive Force by Wallace Stevens 33 - To My Most Dearly Loved Friend Henry Reynolds Esquire of Poets and Poesie by Michael Drayton 34 - His Poetry His Pillar by Robert Herrick 35 - To Live Merrily and to Trust to Good Verses by Robert Herrick 36 - Poem for the End by Ivor Gurney Author - Matthew Arnold.
