{"product_id":"listening-to-poetry-jeremy-trabue-9781955499293","title":"Listening to Poetry: An Introduction for Readers and Writers","description":"A sad thing happens to most people somewhere between preschool and college: we unlearn our natural love of poetry, a love rooted in sound and surprise, pattern and play, discovery and delight. That loss is a tragedy that this book aims to reverse.\u003cbr\u003eBased on fifteen years of teaching, and dedicated to the belief that rigor and accessibility are compatible, \u003ci\u003eListening to Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e takes nothing for granted, and builds students' confidence and skills from the ground up. It uses innovative, student-centered, and process-based approaches, including practical how-tos and skill-focused exercises for every subject covered.\u003cbr\u003ePoems don't have to be approached like riddles to be solved, codes to be cracked, or prisoners to be interrogated. There is a better way, and it starts right here. Don't take our word for it, though. Listen to students who've read this book: \"I need to give full appreciation to this book for my new-found love of poetry... I have found myself a new hobby.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Before this book I was overwhelmed by poetry and felt I would never be artistic enough to create or analyze it. Now I feel very comfortable... and am excited to continue my appreciation for the art.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"I have found my love for poetry from reading this book. I have learned how to read poetry and how to understand it.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Trabue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1955499292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955499293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chemeketa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.91d","brand":"Jeremy Trabue","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801070121215,"sku":"9781955499293","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/listening-to-poetry-jeremy-trabue-9781955499293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
