It comprises one poet's attempt to plumb the nature of his art, to ask how the selection of material remains a crucial yet unexplored area of poetic craft, and to suggest the vast range of possible subjects for poems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book begins by venturing a novel definition of \"subject,\" derived from Robert Frost's dictum that poetry constitutes an \"art of having something to say.\" Brown posits that a poem can say something by expressing, evoking, or addressing. He considers each of these ways-of-saying in turn, first defining it and then looking at poems in which it predominates. Brown next makes a wide-ranging case for the value of subjects to poems, poets, and the art of poetry, especially at a time when many poems appear subjectless. He concludes the book with practical guidance on finding subjects, improving them, and realizing their potential. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReplete with thoughtful readings of poems both classic and contemporary, \u003ci\u003eSubjects in Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e should appeal to poets across all levels and readers interested in understanding the art and practice of poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807176095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807176092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Louisiana State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.37d","brand":"Daniel Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050959368447,"sku":"9780807176092","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31e74537-6b6c-4f80-a8e7-42acaadb9694.jpg?v=1685010255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/subjects-in-poetry-daniel-brown-9780807176092","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
