A Poet's Glossary was an extraordinary achievement that continues to stand as a definitive source for poets and poetry lovers alike. Here, The Essential Poet's Glossary gleans the very best from that extraordinary volume.
"An instant classic that belongs on the bookshelf of every serious poet and literature student."--Washington Post
Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets Edward Hirsch has compiled poetic terms spanning centuries and continents, including forms, devices, movements, aesthetics, rhetorical terms, and folklore. Knowing how a poem works is crucial to unlocking its meaning--entries will deepen readers' relationships with their favorite poems and open greater levels of understanding in each new poem they encounter.
Shot through with the enthusiasm, authority, and sheer delight that made A Poet's Glossary and How to Read a Poem so beloved, this Essential edition is the book that all readers, writers, teachers, and students of poetry will return to again and again.

Is there a book on the craft of writing that you recommend to poets?
When people say craft book I think The Essential Poet’s Glossary by Ed Hirsch, which is not a craft book, but a container of craft and one I turn to often because it fills me with joy; one learns so much playing and replicating forms and practicing scales that are not immediate to the poet’s imagination, plus the myriad of information and stories about the craft within.
