Críticas:
A wry, learned, immensely helpful running commentary on teaching young poets to write.--Rachel Hadas

What's particularly delightful here is the author's pleasure in skewering the lazy standards and attitudes of the day. Passionate and witty, it takes the young writer to the heart of the matter.--J.D. McClatchy

The most compelling, original, charismatic and poetic guide to poetry that I can remember. A handbook written from the heart by one of the true modern masters of the craft.--Simon Armitage

Occasionally mad but very interesting.
--Wendy Cope"The Observer" (11/25/2012)

Glyn Maxwell s effusive little book "On Poetry" is one of the best guides I have ever read to the greatest and most intimidating of all the literary forms. Maxwell is himself a poet and he wears his expertise confidently but casually. He takes on daunting, recondite concepts and elucidates them stylishly and personably, in the same spirit by which Roger Fry demystified the Post-Impressionists and Julia Child universalized the Quiche Lorraine "On Poetry" navigates a welcoming middle path between hidebound tradition and the free-for-all of formlessness. It reminds us that although only a select few are called to be Poets, reading, writing, and loving poetry is for anyone.--Sam Sacks"Open Letters Monthly" (12/01/2013)"

Defiantly and exhilaratingly poetic I like the urgency and stringency of Maxwell s advice, and it should be useful to students coming to a poem, providing a set of keys to allow them entry If the book is witty, and occasionally glib, it s also profound Arguing with this book is part of the joy of it: it s provocative and opinionated and personal and urgent; by turns good-humored and intemperate; and full of earned advice on the writing and reading of poems.--Nick Laird"New York Review of Books" (12/19/2013)"

A playful, challenging, provocative, and always surprising explication of the formal elements of poetry [Maxwell] provides new ways of seeing the formal dimensions of poetry, whether canonical examples, his own works, or fresh-out-of-the-writing-workshop exercises Required reading for anyone genuinely interested in contemporary poetry.--M. F. McClure"Choice" (05/01/2014)"

Occasionally mad but very interesting.--Wendy Cope"The Observer" (11/25/2012)

A wee gem of a book, essential reading for anyone who reads or writes poetry.--Alan Spence"The Scotsman" (12/08/2012)

Poet Maxwell offers a refreshingly astringent, deeply personal, and forceful argument about what poetry is and is not Maxwell s observations and exercises will be useful for all aspiring writers. An outstanding addition to the how, what, and why of poetry.--Michael Autrey"Booklist" (09/20/2013)"
Reseña del editor:

"This is a book for anyone," Glyn Maxwell declares of On Poetry. A guide to the writing of poetry and a defense of the art, it will be especially prized by writers and readers who wish to understand why and how poetic technique matters. When Maxwell states, "With rhyme what matters is the distance between rhymes" or "the line-breakis punctuation," he compresses into simple, memorable phrases a great deal of practical wisdom.

In seven chapters whose weird, gnomic titles announce the singularity of the book--"White," "Black," "Form," "Pulse," "Chime," "Space," and "Time"--the poet explores his belief that the greatest verse arises from a harmony of mind and body, and that poetic forms originate in human necessities: breath, heartbeat, footstep, posture. "The sound of form in poetry descended from song, molded by breath, is the sound of that creature yearning to leave a mark. The meter saystick-tock. The rhyme says remember. The whiteness says alone," Maxwell writes. To illustrate his argument, he draws upon personal touchstones such as Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost. An experienced teacher, Maxwell also takes us inside the world of the creative writing class, where we learn from the experiences of four aspiring poets.

"You master form you master time," Maxwell says. In this guide to the most ancient and sublime of the realms of literature, Maxwell shares his mastery with us.
