The Ode Less Travelled: Unlocking the Poet Within
by Stephen Fry
The Ode Less Travelled by Stephen Fry, reissued in January 2021, is a wonderful introduction to poetry for those of us who love it, but find it quite scary and don’t understand how it works. It’s a nuts-and-bolts introduction to metre and other poetical devices and hopefully is enough to encourage even the most diffident lovers of poetry amongst us to have a go at writing their own.
