Back on WP you inquired about a book on style and I replied:
"As for texts on writing poetry, I tend to avoid them, as I'm not sure it can be taught without its lessons resulting in mechanical sounding results. I will very highly recommend, however, Laurence Perrine, Sound and Sense. Go to a used book store and see if you can find the Harcourt, Brace 3rd edition (1969). It has a superb selction of poems, plus some great explanations of metrics, devices, and the like." I have acquired a copy of the 8th ed. If you are interested we can make arrangements for me to send it to you. You can reimburse me what I paid for it: $0. "Un no sé qué que quedan balbuciendo." San Juan de la Cruz |

Carlos, I have a paperback copy of this book ( 3rd edition 1969) if you're still interested.
E mail me and I can send it to you if you'd like.  |
