Publisher Description:
Poetry/Mind/Body constitutes the first venture combining techniques and practices of oral production with critical analysis in approaching a traditional subject: the study of English poetry. Jaskoski introduces the beginning student to topics such as scansion, figurative language, and implied situation. Brief exercises permit practice in application of these techniques. The book's emphasis on oral recitation and the physical dimension of poetry are explored through exercises based on Yoga breathing and relaxation which help the student (or teacher) with the necessary voice training. Contents: Recitation; Prosody; Rhetoric; History; Listening to the Poem; Exercises.
