The dance, in the case of this brief and luminous book, refers to the interwoven pleasures of sound and sense to be found in some of the most celebrated and beautiful poems in the English language, from Shakespeare to Edna St. Vincent Millay to Robert Frost. With a poets ear and a poets grace of expression, Mary Oliver helps us understand what makes a metrical poem work-and enables readers, as only she can, to enter the thudding deeps and the rippling shallows of sound-pleasure and rhythm-pleasure.With an anthology of fifty poems representing the best metrical poetry in English, from the Elizabethan Age to Elizabeth Bishop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49657910853872,"sku":"NEW039585086X","price":8.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/4623\/6400\/files\/61NUM7Ld2xL.jpg?v=1777855072","url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/rules-for-the-dance-a-handbook-for-writing-and-reading-metr","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
