Product Description:
There's no better way for you to learn about poetry and understand its elements than with PERRINE'S SOUND AND SENSE. Both a concise introduction to poetry and an anthology, this classic best-seller succinctly covers the basics of poetry with chapters on evaluating poetry, exemplary poetry selections that you'll enjoy reading, and exercises that help you understand each selection. Every poem included in this collection is not only a perfect illustration of the poetic concept at hand, but a remarkable work in its own right.

- Great
I'm an English Literature student and I bought this book for a poetry course. This book is so benificial! It is filled with so many famous poems and almost all of them are analysed acoording to their structure, themes, figures of speech... etc. The book provides explanations of all the figures of speech and stylistic devices that we use when analysing a poem.
I recommend this book for both Englsih Literature studeds and people who are interested in poetry.

This book came to me in a short amount of time. It was also in perfect condition. Thanks.
Rating: - Excellent for use with students
I am currently using this book with 11th grade English students, and they have been truly caught up in it. We are actually having arguments in class over poetry!! I do find, however, that it is helpful to do the chapter on rhythm and meter much earlier than I would if I were following the chapters in order. My experience is that students have a difficult time hearing the rhythm of poetry and are generally unable to read aloud with any success. Jumping ahead early to the chapter on rhythm and meter ...

Rating: - Good AP Textbook
My senior AP Literature and Composition class is using this book as a textbook, and I would have to say it is the best high school English book I've ever used. The questions following each included piece really helps you to focus on what is important in the passage, and the introductions to each chapter are brief and to the point.
Rating:
- Almost a great resource (that I'd give 3.5 Stars, actually)
My first exposure to Sound and Sense was in high school, and, at the time, I found the book so valuable a resource that I later purchased a copy. Post-college, my views have changed somewhat.
If the tone of the writing was not so condescending, this could be a great book. It defines most of the terms necessary to understand critical texts on poetry, including those analyses related to meter, style, and tone. I find the questions after each poem to be helpful and thought-provoking. ... Read More
