How To Read Poetry is a guidebook written by Ethel Maude Colson Brazelton and originally published in 1918. The book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of how to read and understand poetry, with a focus on the techniques and devices used by poets to convey meaning and emotion.Brazelton begins by discussing the importance of reading poetry slowly and attentively, and provides tips for analyzing and interpreting poems. She then delves into the various elements of poetry, including rhyme, meter, imagery, and figurative language, and explains how each of these elements contributes to the overall meaning and effect of a poem.Throughout the book, Brazelton uses examples from a wide range of poets and poems, from Shakespeare and Milton to contemporary writers of her time. She also includes exercises and practice poems for readers to work through, helping them to develop their skills in reading and interpreting poetry.Overall, How To Read Poetry is a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their appreciation and understanding of poetry, whether they are new to the genre or seasoned readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
