How to Read a Poem: And Fall in Love with Poetry Paperback - 2000
by Edward Hirsch
One of America's brightest stars in the field explains the meaning of poetry in everyday life, shows how to read it, and tells readers why poetry is important.
Summary
How to Read a Poem is an unprecedented exploration of poetry and feeling. In language at once acute and emotional, distinguished poet and critic Edward Hirsch describes why poetry matters and how we can open up our imaginations so that its message can make a difference. In a marvelous reading of verse from around the world, including work by Pablo Neruda, Elizabeth Bishop, Wallace Stevens, and Sylvia Plath, among many others, Hirsch discovers the true meaning of their words and ideas and brings their sublime message home into our hearts. A masterful work by a master poet, this brilliant summation of poetry and human nature will speak to all readers who long to place poetry in their lives.
First line
Read these poems to yourself in the middle of the night.
