Real Toads, Imaginary Gardens: On Reading and Writ Barbara Irwin 65% Polyester/ 35% Cotton PoplinWhat makes reading a poem unlike reading anything else? In Real Toads, Imaginary Gardens, acclaimed poet and teacher Paisley Rekdal demonstrates how to observe the building blocks of a poem including its diction, form, imagery, and rhythm and construct an interpretation of its meaning. Using guided close readings and nearly 40 creative and critical experiments, this book shows how a poem takes shape through the intersection of all its lyric elements.
