Author and educator Morris Schreiber presents a lecture on the basics of poetry. Using the works of English and American poets as examples, Schreiber discusses the emotional appeal, language, structure, and metrics of poetry. Among the selections featured are “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and “Kubla Khan,” both by Samuel Taylor Coleridge; Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Bells”; “Fog,” by Carl Sandburg; Hamlin Garland’s “Do You Fear the Wind”; and Walt Whitman’s “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer.” Complete transcriptions for all tracks are included in the liner notes.
