MODERN POETRY and FREE VERSE, for Today

'Intelligent and unpretentious Modern Poetry for intelligent, unpretentious and modern-minded people.' Barn Swallow. In a mad woman's hyperactive Tourette's tearing at her hair; her flailing fists, and rapid arm-weaving, everywhere and nowhere; a Tartar's arrow-bolt ~ fletched with blue steel... This masterful collection brings exquisite high-art poetry to ordinarily educated readers. Each poem comes with a set of explanatory notes, written by the author himself; and this edition also includes an informative essay to explain what makes free-verse successful. The few technical terms that are employed in the essay are clearly explained in an informative glossary. Here is the poetry book for the 2020's. At over two-hundred pages - the collection is more than twice the length of other poetry books. It is a sister publication of 'Rhyming Poetry for Today', yet also entirely self-standing. This is the book that will gently coach you to understand and enjoy both modern poetry and the highest artistic literature.
