For readers devoted to poetry, it offers illuminating examples of the infinitely various ways a poem reaches a reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In both the book and the videos on the accompanying DVD, poems by Sappho, Shakespeare, Keats, Whitman, and Dickinson as well as contemporary poets are introduced by people from across the United States--a construction worker, a Supreme Court justice, a glassblower, a marine--each of whom speaks about his or her connection to the poem. Their comments are variously poignant, funny, heartening, tart, penetrating, and eccentric, showing some of the ways poetry is alive for American readers. An \u003cem\u003eInvitation to Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e will inspire a fresh experience of poetry's pleasure and insight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maggie Dietz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 039305876X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393058765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
