The Ode Less Travelled

Unlocking the Poet Within

New Paperback

Postscript summary

Stephen Fry believes that if you can write English, you can write poetry. But it's no fun if you've been led to believe that anything goes. His typically amusing and light-hearted book unlocks the delights of rhyme, metre and form, explaining how to compose a sonnet, a villanelle or an epithalamion. Its enjoyable exercises, witty insights and step-by-step instructions will guide any would-be poet towards a mastery of verse.
