She's certainly right to focus on the syllable as the basic unit.Andrew Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006232197499662437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23932488.post-1950331309796413922007-02-08T23:35:00.000+00:002007-02-08T23:35:00.000+00:00She talks about it in terms of syllable relationsh...She talks about it in terms of syllable relationships, describing first the ancient Greek metric. She then looks at the historical arguments for and against end-rhyme, from the Elizabethans to Eliot. She finishes this short section:<BR/>"You could say the syllables are molecules of movement, and that structure is the pattern in which they move."<BR/><BR/>Agree or disagree, she puts forward some very thought-provoking ideas, and she writes very well. I'm maybe biased; she was one of my poetry tutors on an Arvon course back in 1995.Colin Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15627539650929533832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23932488.post-91463896287170986712007-02-08T21:53:00.000+00:002007-02-08T21:53:00.000+00:00Glad you're enjoying the posts, Colin.

I'm reading Ruth Padel's <i>The Poem and the Journey</i> at the moment, and she has some good points on rhyme (and on many other subjects).Colin Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15627539650929533832noreply@blogger.com
