In \u003cem\u003eHow Poems Get Made\u003c\/em\u003e, acclaimed poet and critic James Longenbach answers this question by discussing a wide range of exemplary poems, from Shakespeare through Blake, Dickinson, and Moore, to a variety of poets making poems today. In each chapter of \u003cem\u003eHow Poems Get Made\u003c\/em\u003e, Longenbach examines a specific aspect of the poetic medium--including Diction, Syntax, Rhythm, Echo, Figure, and Tone--and shows how a poet may manipulate these most basic elements to bring a poem to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLongenbach, James:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eJames Longenbach\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of six books of poems--including \u003cem\u003eEarthling\u003c\/em\u003e, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award--and eight books of prose.
