This book helps readers new to poetry find ways to absorb a poem's meaning. There is usually no right or wrong answer when reading a poem; instead, it's an emotional response. This book gives helpful suggestions about how to get in touch with your emotional response to a poem.

Star Vs. Steer
17 Nov 2000
Format:Hardcover
I thought Ian Hamilton Finley's Star poem was strange. Is that poetry? How did he get published in your book with that? I mean, I'm taking an American Lit class and there are certain guidelines to poetry, right? Maybe if you said that was 'Art' then he could get by with stacking 'stars' and ending with a 'steer', but one wonders how long it took him to come up with that. A second? Did he get paid for that? If so, then I'm sending in some poetic art and should get paid as well. Also, I don't think we should stretch to find meaning in what we see. The examples you gave as to what the poem could mean were 'out there' to say the least. If this is the kind of stuff you put in your books, then where do we find real poetry?
