5.0 out of 5 stars Exploring Biblical Poetry, 22 Nov 2007
By C. Maytum "for truth" (Coventry, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Art of Biblical Poetry (Paperback)
Robert Alter...'explores each of the main poetic genres of the Bible and brings to light all the underlying poetic principles. He enables the general reader and specialist alike to see these ancient poems afresh, and to appreciate the relation between poetic vehicle and religious vision. With great skill and clarity he shows how the poetry of the Bible may be read with more awareness and in closer consonance with the original intended meaning.'
From the rear cover of the book.
