Poet, Thomas Carper, and scholar, Derek Attridge, join forces in <EM>Meter and Meaning</EM> to present an illuminating and user-friendly way to explore the rhythms of poetry in English.

From this starting point they suggest an entirely fresh, jargon-free approach to reading poetry. Illustrating their ''beat/offbeat'' method with a series of exercises, they help readers to appreciate the use of rhythm in poems of all periods and to understand the vital relationship between meter and meaning.<BR>Beginning with the very basics, <EM>Meter and Meaning</EM> enables a smooth progression to an advanced knowledge of poetic rhythms. It is the essential guide to meter for anyone who wants to study, write, better appreciate, or simply enjoy poetry. Carper and Attridge make studying meter a pleasure and reading poetry a revelation.
