Poems, Poets, Poetry by Helen Vendler - Third Edition, 2018 from Macmillan Student Store

An illuminating introduction to poetry from an extraordinary critic

Many students today are puzzled by the meaning and purpose of poetry. Poems, Poets, Poetry, Compact Third Edition demystifies the form and introduces students to its artistry and pleasures, using methods that Helen Vendler has successfully used herself over her long, celebrated career. Guided by Vendler’s erudite yet down-to-earth approach, students at all levels can benefit from her authoritative instruction. Her blend of recent and canonical poets includes a diverse array of voices represented by a broad selection of poetic forms. Newly offered in a more portable, concise volume (in print and as an e-book), this text engages students in effective ways of reading, writing about, and taking delight in poetry.

Features

An introduction to poetry by a renowned critic and teacher. Recognized as one of America's greatest literary critics, Helen Vendler is a frequent reviewer of poetry for The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books. Poems, Poets, Poetry reflects decades of teaching to thousands of undergraduates in the core poetry course that she has taught at Harvard since 1981.

A unique and effective approach to reading and writing about poetry. In Part One, a comprehensive introduction to poetry, Vendler reads 13 poems through twice — first to tie the poems to real life events (thus demystifying them), and then to reveal how poetic language transforms those events into art. In Part Two, she illuminates ways to think and write about both individual works and groups of poems.

A diverse anthology of more than 100 poems by more than 78 poets. Spanning eight centuries of English-language poetry, the anthology in Part Three offers a broad choice of canonical and contemporary selections that allow instructors to shape their courses as they prefer.

Five helpful appendices expand on technical aspects of poetry. While discussion of technical terminology has been kept to a minimum in the text, further explanations (with examples) of prosody, grammar, speech-acts, rhetorical devices, and lyric subgenres are available in the appendices.

An Instructor's Manual prepared by Helen Vendler herself. The manual discusses each chapter and several of its poems from a teacher's point of view. The manual also provides proven exercises and tips from her own classroom experience.

New to This Edition

20 new poems make it one of the most inclusive introductory collections available. New additions include:

  • important canonical poets such as Edmund Spencer, John Donne, Andrew Marvell, and Phillis Wheatley;
  • well-known twentieth-century poets such as E.E. Cummings, Robert Hayden, Lucille Clifton, and Jane Kenyon;
  • culturally diverse poets such as Victoria Chang, Thylias Moss, Eduardo C. Corral, and Terrance Hayes;
  • new contemporary voices such as Natasha Tretheway, Haryette Mullen, and Tracy K. Smith.

A new, more portable size available in print and as an e-book
Containing all of Vendler’s helpful instruction from the full 3rd edition but with fewer poems, the new compact 3rd edition is just under 500 pages and includes over 260 poems. The book is now available in both print and e-book format.

LaunchPad Solo for Literature can be packaged at no additional cost and helps beginning poetry and literature students learn and practice close reading and critical thinking skills in an interactive environment. Easy-to-use and easy-to-assign modules based on widely taught literary selections guide students through three common assignment types: responding to a reading, drawing connections between texts, and instructor-led collaborative close reading. Of particular relevance for poetry students are: nine interactive poetry modules, and exercises and quizzes on the elements of poetry.

"Vendler does a fantastic job teaching students techniques for building a critique without destroying the integrity of the poems. . . . Her diverse selection, spanning both canonical and contemporary poetry, helps students understand the ways in which poets and poems speak to each other across centuries, gender, and race."
-Camille-Yvette Welsch, Pennsylvania State University

"What makes Poems, Poets, Poetry valuable is the fact that there is so much about reading and thinking about poetry in it aside from the actual poems themselves."
-George Fragopoulous, Quensborough Community College, CUNY
