Book on Prosody

[rayheinrich]

Well I read the whole thing, whether or not the messages of the book are inculcated into any future practice I may participate in is questionable. Thanks for posting I'm still confused on the limits of Free Verse.

Well... Mr. Hammes wasn't a leading proponent of free verse (which should
suit many of the members of the pig just fine). But, as a huge fan of the
scientific method, I appreciate the fact that his views were the result of
lengthy and intense experimentation. And I must admit, that when one
averages the results, his views are correct.

P.S. One limit of free verse is that it doesn't require enough suffering
from the writer and far too much from the reader. Another, and more
significant, is that it is built on the faulty premise that any state of
"free" can be obtained when using words.
