{"product_id":"the-art-of-voice-tony-hoagland-9781324002680","title":"The Art of Voice: Poetic Principles and Practice","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this accessible and distilled craft guide, acclaimed poet Tony Hoagland approaches poetry through the frame of poetic voice, that mysterious connective element that binds the speaker and reader together. A poem strong in the dimension of voice is an animate thing of shifting balances, tones, and temperatures, by turns confiding, vulgar, bossy, or cunning--but above all, alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twelve short chapters of \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Voice\u003c\/em\u003e explore ways to create a distinctive poetic voice, including vernacular, authoritative statement, material imagination, speech register, tone-shifting, and using secondary voices as an enriching source of texture in the poem. A comprehensive appendix contains thirty stimulating models and exercises that will help poets cultivate their craft. Mining his personal experience as a poet and analyzing a wide range of examples from Catullus to Marie Howe, Hoagland provides a lively introduction to contemporary poetry and an invaluable guide for any practicing writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Hoagland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324002689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324002680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
