Description:

Writing poetry always seems to be something we learn at school, usually beginning with a couplet of child-like rhyme that brings gales of laughter. Later it may be agonising over a verse or two attempting to rhapsodise on love and then the years roll on with only an occasional desire to return. In this volume we put together wordsmiths of the highest caliber as they write on Poets themselves. Many of the poems provide valuable insights on how other poets are seen by their peers. Some are deeply personal others are abstract. Whether they speak at the celebration of a birth or the knowing tragedy of entering a slaughterous battle these poets take us into new uncharted territories revealing their inner selves in raw and tender ways. Yeats, Flecker, Benet, Yeats, Dickinson, Coleridge, Millay, Levy, Gurney are but a few of their number who speak with the clarity, the eloquence and the truth that only a poet can know….but all can share. 01 - Poets on Poets - An Introduction 02 - A Caution to Poets by Matthew Arnold 03 - To a Poet by Emily Hickey 04 - To a Poet by Alice Meynell 05 - To a Poet by Claude McKay 06 - To Poets by Charles Sorley 07 - The Poet by Aleksandr Pushkin 08 - The Poet by Radclyffe Hall 09 - The Poet by Paul Laurence Dunbar 10 - The Poet to Nature by Alice Meynell 11 - Sonnet VII - Sweet Poet of the Woods by Charlotte Smith 12 - To John Keats, Poet, At Spring Time by Countee Cullen 13 - False Poets and True (To Wordsworth) by Thomas Hood 14 - On Dryden by Christopher Caudwell 15 - On Poet-Ape by Ben Jonson 16 - On the Morals of Poets by Richard Le Gallienne 17 - The Poets by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 18 - The Toast by Ernest Rhys 19 - A Minor Poet by Stephen Vincent Benet 20 - To Alex Smith, the Glasgow Poet by George Meredith 21 - The Peasant Poet by John Clare 22 - London Poets by Amy Levy 23 - Negro Poets by Charles Bertram Johnson 24 - A Poet's Hope by Ambrose Bierce 25 - The Poet's Portion by Thomas Hood 26 - Poets by Khalil Gibran 27 - The Poet's Apology by Aristophanes 28 - A Tale of the Miser and His Poet by Anne Kingsmill Finch 29 - The Poet, the Oyster and Sensitive Plant by William Cowper 30 - The Bad Season Makes the Poet Sad by Robert Herrick 31 - Besides The Autumn Poets Sing by Emily Dickinson 32 - A Poet of One Mood by Alice Meynell 33 - Fancy in Nubibus or The Poet in the Clouds by Samuel Taylor Coleridge 34 - The Poet Pleads with the Elemental Powers by W B Yeats 35 - Singers To Come by Alice Meynell 36 - To a Poet a Thousand Years Hence by James Elroy Flecker 37 - The Young Poet by James Elroy Flecker 38 - Portrait of the Author by William Carlos Williams 39 - The Modern Poet - A Song of Derivations by Alice Meynell 40 - The Poet to His Childhood by Alice Meynell 37 - A Poet's Father by Ambrose Bierce 42 - A Poet's Welcome To His Love Begotten Daughter by Robert Burns 43 - A Poet to His Baby Son by James Weldon Johnson 44 - Mother and Poet by Elizabeth Barrett Browning 45 - The Martyr Poets - Did Not Tell by Emily Dickinson 46 - Trench Poets by Edgell Rickword 47 - England's Poet by Laurence Binyon 48 - A Poet Unknown by Ernest Rhys 49 - To the Poet Before Battle by Ivor Gurney 50 - The Poets Are Waiting by Harold Munro 51 - Lament for the Poets, 1916 by Francis Ledwidge 52 - The Poet's Knowledge by Raymond Chandler 53 - These Things That Poets Said by Edward Thomas 54 - This Was A Poet - It Is That by Emily Dickinson 55 - The Old Poet by Amy Levy 56 - The Old Poet by James Elroy Flecker 57 - The Author - Thomas Hood.
