Robert Frost famously said that writing free verse is like playing tennis without a net. In truth, it's more like playing Calvinball. This book looks at two of the many tools free verse poets are free to use, rhyme and rhythm, with examples from the works of Walt Whitman, T.S. Eliot and others. Includes a mini-anthology of free verse poems.
