374 pages ; 21 cm. The Poetry Dictionary by John Drury is a comprehensive reference guide designed for poets, students, and readers of poetry. The book defines and illuminates crucial poetic terms, ranging from classical meters and traditional stanza forms (like sonnets and villanelles) to modern techniques and avant-garde movements. What sets this guide apart is its practical approach; instead of relying solely on dry, academic jargon, it illustrates each term with extensive and diverse examples from classic and contemporary poems. It serves as both an essential educational tool for understanding the mechanics of verse and an inspiring resource for writers looking to expand their craft. John Drury ; with foreword by Dana Gioia.
