{"product_id":"9781611473391","title":"Why Write Poetry?: Modern Poets Defending Their Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book identifies and examines the verse defense of poetry, which shares the same impulse that has led to the composition of prose essays: namely, the desire to protect poetry from its detractors and to promote its value as a vital human endeavor.
