Structure & Surprise: Engaging Poetic Turns offers a road map for analyzing poetry through examination of poems' structure, rather than their forms or genres. Michael Theune's breakthrough concept encourages students, teachers, and writers to use structure as a tool to see the fundamental affinities between strikingly different kinds of poetry and radically different literary eras. The book includes examination of the mid-course turn and the elegy, as well as the ironic, concessional, emblem, and retrospective-prospective structures, among others. In addition, 14 contemporary poets provide an example of and commentary on their own work.

Structure & Surprise: Engaging Poetic Turns by Michael Theune. I love to think about how a poem is made, how another poet approaches the page. This book has essays from nine poets discussing the way we organize our words, and how we can shift to create elements of surprise, insight, or revelation. A good nerdy read.
