At college I minored in English Lit., learning about poetry academically. In adulthood my main focus, aside from family, was music, as a violinist. Not until my seventh decade did the 'poetic bug bite', likely abetted by my 'musical ear'. At first writing in the modernist, free-verse style seemed 'unformed', chopped-up prose: words, phrases, scattered vertically down the page. Where was the artistry? Creative challenge? \"Words Within A Title\" suggests my initial 'gameplan': words in the text formed of letters contained in its title. \"Asidelines\" contains a few rhymed poems, such as narratives and ballads, also a few in classic forms and meters. But most are structured by sound and rhythm. The book is arranged according to subject categories: \"AVA\", Ballads, Biography, Commentary, General, Local History.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authorhouse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46885930008727,"sku":"9781434366733","price":2886.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781434366733.webp?v=1770249592","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/asidelines-9781434366733","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
