Long description:
Now in its fifth edition, The Book of Forms: A Handbook of Poetics continues to be the go-to reference and guide for students, teachers, and critics. A companion for poets from novice to master, The Book of Forms has been called "the poet&&&39;s bible" for more than fifty years. Filled with both common and rarely heard of forms and prosodies, Turco&&&39;s engaging style and apt examples invite writers to try their hands at exploring forms in ways that challenge and enrich their work. Revised for today&&&39;s poet, the fifth edition includes the classic rules of scansion and the useful Form-Finder Index alongside new examples of terms and prose that are essential to the study of all forms of poetry and verse. As Turco writes in the introduction, "It should go without saying that the more one knows how to do, the more one can do".
