{"product_id":"poetry-reader-9798765104101","title":"Poetry Reader","description":"You have picked up this book because you are a poetry reader. Or you are about to be one. Because as soon as you read a poem, that’s what you are.\nFilled with the profound, the lyrical, the consoling, and the curious, The Poetry Reader: An Anthology is the book you would hope to find if you washed up alone on a deserted island: this companionable collection shows how poetry itself is a discussion, alive and flowing, and how poems speak to, with, and sometimes over one another. \nIf you are a teacher, this is the anthology you wish you had as a student – a text that doesn’t try to survey entire time periods or aesthetic areas, but one that places side-by-side carefully selected poems that speak to each other over time as well as to today’s readers. \n- Section header notes provide critical commentary, framing the poems within their given topic\n- Discussion and writing suggestions give interesting and actionable prompts\n- Works as a standalone book, or can easily be used alongside Poetry: A Survivor's Guide, 2nd ed.\nDrawing on traditional poems and contemporary works, this anthology offers globe-spanning, stylistically diverse poetry, ranging from canonical poems by the likes of Sappho and Shakespeare to those of new voices such as Layli Long Soldier and Mukoma wa Ngugi. As a compact, eclectic, and approachable collection based on specific aspects of poetry and poetic practices – from identity and metaphor to sublimation and spirituality – The Poetry Reader acts as a guide to understanding the essentials of both reading and writing poetry.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50764722405664,"sku":"9798765104101","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9798765104101.jpg?v=1785153395","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/poetry-reader-9798765104101","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
