Meter in English:

a critical engagement
Front Cover
David Baker
3 Reviews
University of Arkansas Press, 1996 - Poetry - 368 pages
essay "a paradigm shift" in our understanding of English prosody. David Baker has gathered Wallace's essay, fourteen essay-length responses - from poets as divergent in practice as Timothy Steele and Robert Hass, John Frederick Nims and Eavan Boland - and an extensive afterword by Wallace that brings the argument full circle. With Wallace's ten points as a common benchmark, the respondents have created an unparalleled sampling of thought on the status of meter in poetics.

Review: Meter In English: A Critical Engagement

User Review  - Nathan Eilers - Goodreads

You definitely have to be a lit nerd to appreciate this book, as it deals with several technicalities of prosody. However, I enjoyed its critical debate thoroughly and learned a lot about poetry by reading it. Read full review
