The book is intended for all audiences of poetry lovers. The book does not contain poetry, it recommends poets and poetry by way of several criteria. Find bios of hundreds of poets from Chaucer (b. 1340) to Brodsky (b. 1940). Find \"Best Poets,\" \"Best Poems by Individual Poet,\" and \"Best Poems Historically.\" The book makes its selections based on what an audience is most likely to enjoy, not on what academe has traditionally come to consensus on based on other factors. The Preface and Introduction argue against \"group think\" and \"mechanical analysis\" in searching for great and enjoyable poetry based on individual taste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daril Bentley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1977216781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977216786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.32d","brand":"Daril Bentley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440229003519,"sku":"9781977216786","price":53.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de7b1e3b-4f0d-4cb5-82e3-eb498dcbaf62.jpg?v=1777181044","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bentley-guide-daril-bentley-9781977216786","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
