330 .. $a What is poetry? If music is sound organized in a particular way, poetry is a way of
organizing language. It is language made special so that it will be remembered and
valued. It does not always work--over the centuries countless thousands of poems have
been forgotten. This little history is about some that have not. John Carey tells
the stories behind the world's greatest poems, from the oldest surviving one written
nearly four thousand years ago to those being written today. Carey looks at poets
whose works shape our views of the world, such as Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Whitman,
and Yeats. He also looks at more recent poets, like Derek Walcott, Marianne Moore,
and Maya Angelou, who have started to question what makes a poem "great" in the first
place. This little history shines a light on the richness and variation of the world's
poems--and the elusive quality that makes them all the more enticing
