Su questo libro

Recensione:

'The most lucid and accessible guide to the study of poetry available.' - Christopher Lee, University of Southern Queensland, Australia

'You can't teach poetry unless you love it. Barry Spurr clearly does. He knows not to demean or exploit it. Poetry taught me poetry, but it was a teacher who turned me on to it and gave me the initial orientation I needed. This book suggests that Barry Spurr is another teacher of that rare kind.' - Les Murray, winner of the T.S. Eliot Award (1996) and the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry (1999). Australia's leading poet.

'belong[s] on the shelf of every lover of poetry and student of literature.' - Stephen McInerney, Quadrant
