Poetry doesn’t matter to most people, observes Jay Parini at the opening of this book. But, undeterred, he commences a deeply felt meditation on poetry, its language and meaning, and its power to open minds and transform lives. By the end of the book, Parini has recovered a truth often obscured by our clamorous culture: without poetry, we live only partially, not fully conscious of the possibilities that life affords. Poetry indeed matters.

A gifted poet and acclaimed teacher, Parini begins by looking at defenses of poetry written over the centuries. He ponders Aristotle, Horace, and Longinus, and moves on through Sidney, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Eliot, Frost, Stevens, and others. Parini examines the importance of poetic voice and the mysteries of metaphor. He argues that a poet’s originality depends on a deep understanding of the traditions of political poetry, nature poetry, and religious poetry.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"If you are going to tell Jay Parini that poetry doesn't matter, you should probably start working on your debate points now-he's got a lot more." ( Burlington Free Press)

good beneficial comprehensive in a country where poets die nameless on darkened streets, a light to read by.

Well written and well read with engagement and intellectual enthusiasm. Though I would recommend that the reader practice his pronunciation of Chaucer and Dante a little more. But generally excellent all-around.

One of the best defenses of poetry...
