Poetry & How It Gets That Way

By Dean Baker

In the face of an ever-diminishing interest by experienced readers, and an increasing populist passion for one of the oldest arts, poetry, this book describes why that interest should be revived in schools and individuals: illustrating the loss that accrues by not doing so, and the benefits to society through a passionate involvement in the poetic arts.Poetry has been an essential art in history and is in danger of being trivialized into extinction. Poetry is not merely an adjunct to history and culture but can elucidate, influence and in changing perspective, alter those same events and deeds.Find out more. http: //deanbakerpoetryandsongs.co
