Poetry and Humanity Set

Product Description
Poetry and Humanity is built on a theme of understanding humanity and our existence. It develops and expands the MCT poetics program by showing how poets push language to its maximum in order to express those things about us that are most true, or difficult, or subtle. Longer and more challenging poems appear as examples.
All of the topics from the previous volumes are included in this one, but this book also explores more advanced techniques. These include advanced rhymes such as half-double rhyme, elided rhyme, amphisbaenic rhyme, reverse rhyme, and apophany; advanced meters, from monometer to octameter; complex stanza forms, such as heroic couplets, terza rima, villanelles, quintets, sestets, octets, and submerged sonnets; and more involved figures of speech, including metonymy, synecdoche, and oxymorons.
As a special feature, this book contains QR codes that link to audio of Michael reading the poems.
