Dennis identifies the qualities of passion, discrimination, and inclusiveness as essential in creating a compelling speaker. This emphasis on character leads to fresh discussions of point of view, irony, myth, and genre. Each subject is developed through careful readings of a wide variety of poets--from Whitman and Dickinson to contemporaries. Lucidly written, \u003ci\u003ePoetry as Persuasion\u003c\/i\u003e offers both inspiration and important advice for practicing poets, and at the same time provides anyone with an interest in poetry a fresh understanding of its appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591026950295,"sku":"9780820322483","price":3120.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780820322483.webp?v=1774971350","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/poetry-as-persuasion-9780820322483","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
