The Ode Less Travelled by Stephen Fry
'One of the many joys of being Stephen Fry's editor is his ability to surprise me,' says Sue Freestone. She knew he'd really done it this time when he revealed to her that he'd always had a secret passion for poetry and that his next project was a book about how to write poetry. His book will give everybody the tools to write poetry; covering the full spectrum of the different poetic forms, structures and techniques. According to Stephen it will make writing poetry fun, easy, satisfying, fulfilling and delightful. Here is a taste of Stephen's own efforts; Lesbian Sappho made this form With two beats to the final line Her sex life wasn't quite the norm And nor is mine.
Enthralling, witty and deeply educative -- Christina Hardyment * The Times *
Fry's extraordinary book is an idiot's guide to the writing of poetry, a primer, a tutorial with funny turns, an earnest textbook* Independent on Sunday *
Even if you have no intention of sitting down and writing a poem, Fry's enthusiasm for his subject is such that after listening to this, even a prosaic old grump like Victor Meldrew might be inclined to sit down and write a sonnet or two. * The Guardian *
