SOUNDS GOOD: 101 Poems to be Heard - Faber

Sounds Good offers a collection of 101 poems that have been chosen to illustrate the function of sound in poetry. The poems themselves have been arranged in such a way as to bring their musical qualities to the fore. Christopher Reid has also provided brief notes, approaching the poems from different and sometimes surprising angles, with the purpose of illuminating the processes, formal and linguistic, that have given them their vitality. The book can be enjoyed simply as a collection of some of the most beautiful poems in the English language or to identify and explore the secret arts of poetry composition itself.
