If you think that poetry has to be sweet and romantic, or at least serene, think again. Step into the dark world of Edgar Allan Poe. Well known for his spine-tingling, spooky stories that are even more chilling than today's horror films, Poe also wrote poems that expressed the shadowy regions of his mind. More than 20 of his poems and selections from his stories are accompanied by mood-setting, full-colour drawings and notes that make his work easier to understand.

A comprehensive collection of poetry terms, John Drury's The Poetry Dictionary is a classic reference for students and teachers alike. With all the terms needed to effectively discuss the craft, this new and revised edition is:

-Value-priced with the same helpful information as the first edition, but now in a more affordable and handy package

-Packed with examples from classic and contemporary poetry to illustrate the terms at work

-Recommended and with a foreword by Dana Gioia, head of the National Endowment for the Arts

Both comprehensive and concise, The Poetry Dictionary is a unique and useful anthology of the art.John Drury's Poetry Dictionary is no dreary list of defined terms to cram for your poetry final. It's a work of art in itself, written in Drury's engagingly lucid prose, liberally spiced with examples from the world's best poets. Curious about sequence? Drury gives a clear definition of the term, followed by Katha Pollitt's "Vegetable Poems" in sequence 1-5. Forgotten the rules of the villanelle? Drury explains the form, gives a little historic background, and presents examples by Jean Passerat, Edwin Arlington Robinson, Dylan Thomas, Weldon Kees, and James Cummins. Never has a poetry dictionary been so browsable, so erudite, and so engaging. --Stephanie Gold
