Set apart by the intensity of the craft, set further apart by the search for transcendence, poets are by their nature amongst the most conscious and complex of communicators. Here Ferry (late English, Boston College) reveals their conscious intentions (and to some degree those coming from their unconscious) by examining such elements as rhyme, choice of title, the revision process, and the reinterpretation of key words, figures or narratives in later editions. She begins with rhyme and its manipulation of themes, then addresses Sydney's and Shakespeare's use of rhyme, Herbert's success with "small" themes, the role of objects in Wordsworth, Stevens, and Ashbery, optical allusion in Wordsworth and his inheritors, the masterful redesigning of William Carlos Williams, Frost's titles and design, anonymity, and the literary history of a word. The result is both rigorous and enchanting. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
