With the enthusiasm of a teacher, the wisdom and excellent common sense of a poet who has been writing for sixty years, Mary Oliver explains in a simple and easy way how to write a poem from aspects such as sound, imagery, lines, rhythm, etc. She talked about the poetry of the past, about iambics, about sonnets, but also about modern poetry-the poetry of Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, and other great poets. She told us how to read and write poetry, and why we read and write poetry. She also used macro analysis to analyze for us why a poem is great, and how a poet can hone his skills and establish the discipline of writing. This book has a high-level theory and at the same time goes into specific case analysis. It collects the most popular masterpieces of English poetry and reads them carefully one by one. It is of great benefit to the current reading and writing of Chinese poetry.
