First Edition

"In the words of its editors, Mark Strand and Eavan Boland, The Making of a Poem 'looks squarely at some of the headaches and mysteries of poetic form.' Here, two of our foremost poets provide a lucid, straightforward anthology for those who have always felt that an understanding of form - sonnet, ballad, villanelle, sestina, etc. - would enhance their appreciation of poetry. By example and explanation, the anthology traces 'the exuberant history of forms' . . . . Each chapter is devoted to one form, offering explanation, close reading, and a rich selection of exemplars that amply demonstrate the power and possibility of the form" [from the dust jacket]
