The Secret Life of Poems is a primer which offers a poem—or on occasion an excerpt—on the left–hand page, together with facing commentary. Rhythm, form, metre, sources are the order of the day, not ethical commentary or descriptive paraphrase. This brief engagement with 45 poems seeks to explain how poetry works by bringing into view the hidden order of specific poems.
