{"product_id":"9781786939937","title":"Essential Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten in an easy, non-technical style, Essential Poetry is intended to give enjoyment to young and old. In the first half, there are essays dealing with the building-blocks of poetry, using brief examples from the greatest poets ranging from Homer to Heaney. The second half consists of an anthology of just two dozen poets, selecting a single poem from each to give a taste of their style. The author, who includes a selection of his own work within the book, hopes to generate greater interest and enthusiasm in students and to re-awaken later generations to the glorious heritage of poetry in English—and even, perhaps, to set the reader on the road to writing poetry of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austin Macauley Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032432787696,"sku":"9781786939937","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781786939937_p0.jpg?v=1763740124","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781786939937","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
