Brush Up Your Poetry! by Michael Macrone
Brush Up Your Poetry! by Michael Macrone
Brush Up Your Poetry! is both a lively primer and a fascinating look at how our language evolved, by focusing on well-known words and phrases coined in a rich selection of all poems great and small (as Coleridge would have put it). Readers will savor the familiar and classically poetic--like Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways" and John Donne's "Do not ask for whom the bell tolls"--but they will also discover the myriad well-known phrases that you would never expect to come from poems, such as Chaucer's "In one ear and out the other" and Longfellow's "Into each life some rain must fall."
This is one of the most wonderful books I've ever read and it was of a great value while I was studying at the University.
