A poem strong in the dimension of voice is an animate thing of shifting balances, tones, and temperatures, by turns confiding, vulgar, bossy, or cunning—but above all, alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe twelve short chapters of The Art of Voice explore ways to create a distinctive poetic voice, including vernacular, authoritative statement, material imagination, speech register, tone-shifting, and using secondary voices as an enriching source of texture in the poem. A comprehensive appendix contains thirty stimulating models and exercises that will help poets cultivate their craft. Mining his personal experience as a poet and analyzing a wide range of examples from Catullus to Marie Howe, Hoagland provides a lively introduction to contemporary poetry and an invaluable guide for any practicing writer.","brand":"Smartfox Books","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41760312066181,"sku":"PR265140","price":33.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/9781324002680_SWGHB9ER4A8K.jpg?v=1783780626","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/the-art-of-voice","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
