Description: The Art Of Attention by Donald Revell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Art Of series is a new series of brief books by contemporary writers on important craft issues. Each book investigates an element of the craft of fiction, creative nonfiction, or poetry by discussing works by authors past and present. The books in the Art Of series are not strictly manuals, but serve readers and writers by illuminating aspects of the craft of writing that people "think "they already know but don't "really "know. Donald Revell argues passionately for the transformation that imaginative experience elicits through poetry. "The art of poetry is not about the acquisition of wiles or the deployment of strategies," Revell writes. "Beginning in the senses, imagination senses farther, senses more." Using examples from his own poetryand translations and from Blake and Thoreau to Ronald Johnson and John Ashbery, Revell's "The Art of Attention: A Poet's Eye "takes the writer beyond the workshop and into the world of vision. Publisher Description Revell argues passionately for the transformation that imaginative experience elicits through poetry.

Using examples both from his own poetry and tranlsations from Blake and Thoreau to Ronald Johnson and John Ashbery, Revell takes the writer out of the workshop and back into the world of vision.
