From wine-dark seas to sun-filled cities, these stories explore complex experiences, mythologies, and emotions through narrative poetry and epic verse.

This is an introduction to modern poetry, with a focus on breadth of voices and styles rather than depth. In the words of Leonard Cohen, "poetry is just the evidence of life...if your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash."
