Poetic Rhythm: An Introduction - by Derek Attridge, 1996
Poetic Rhythm builds on the knowledge and experience of the rhythms of the spoken word, nursery rhymes, song and rap, moving from basic questions about the rhythms of spoken English to the elaborate achievements of past and present poets. Terminology is straightforward and there are frequent practical exercises. Poetic Rhythm will help readers of English poetry experience and enjoy its power, subtlety and diversity, and will serve as an invaluable tool for those who write or discuss poetry in English. Note: This is about English poetic rhythm (!). In our opinion it’s the best book on the market for this topic.
