Poets on Poetry

Writing poetry always seems to be something we learn at school, usually beginning with a couplet of child-like rhyme that brings gales of laughter. Later it may be agonising over a verse or two attempting to rhapsodise on love and then the years roll on with only an occasional desire to return.

In this volume we put together wordsmiths of the highest caliber as they write on Poets themselves. Many of the poems provide valuable insights on how other poets are seen by their peers. Some are deeply personal others are abstract. Whether they speak at the celebration of a birth or the knowing tragedy of entering a slaughterous battle these poets take us into new uncharted territories revealing their inner selves in raw and tender ways.

Yeats, Flecker, Benet, Yeats, Dickinson, Coleridge, Millay, Levy, Gurney are but a few of their number who speak with the clarity, the eloquence and the truth that only a poet can know….but all can share.

About The Author

Widely esteemed as the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an actor and theatrical producer in addition to writing plays and sonnets. Dubbed "The Bard of Avon," Shakespeare oversaw the building of the Globe Theatre in London, where a number of his plays were staged, the best-known of which include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth. The First Folio, a printed book of 36 of his comedies, tragedies, and history plays, was published in 1623.
