Poetry Notebook: Reflections on the Intensity of Language

Poetry Notebook by Clive James is a must-read for any poetry lover.

This book provides an unforgettably eloquent guide on how to read and appreciate modern poetry, with a focus on the phrase and line rather than large structures or governing thoughts.

James examines the poems and legacies of a panorama of twentieth-century poets, from Hart Crane to Ezra Pound, and shares his five favorite poets.

His generosity of attention and willingness to trawl through pages of verse in search of hair-raising lines make him a unique and appealing critic.

With James's ability to tell which lines live and which only counterfeit life, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the art form that matters most to him.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your understanding and enjoyment of poetry with Poetry Notebook by Clive James.
