Like prayer ribbons, these compressed utterances are tied to that space between reading and writing, poet and poem, life and art, making up a \"little book of criticism,\" but criticism with an artist's insight: \"A poem is like a child's plow. A toy for toil,\" Poch writes. His eye for the poetic image and ear for the turn of phrase display the focused wisdom of an accomplished poet-critic. In the spirit of Robert Bresson's \u003cem\u003eNotes on the Cinematographer\u003c\/em\u003e, and in conversation with that work on the art of fi lmmaking, \u003cem\u003eNotes on the Poet\u003c\/em\u003e offers an original vision of the poetic craft, part advice to young poets, part commentary on the state of poetry, part meditation on the implications\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof practicing such an art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Poch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1939574366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939574367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Measure Press Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.25w x 0.35d","brand":"John Poch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321189495039,"sku":"9781939574367","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8fe4c29-a788-4c0b-8d73-fe186f3ae92a.jpg?v=1696329582","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/notes-on-the-poet-john-poch-9781939574367","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
