Miller Williams’ Patterns of Poetry is an encyclopedia of the forms used by poets throughout the history of English, from blank verse to hymnal measure, from englyn penfyr to the double dactyl, from the clerihew to the sonnet. Each form is introduced with a brief discussion of its origin, which is followed by a graphic presentation of its scansion, metrics, and rhyme scheme. Sample poems show how each form actually works. Williams begins Patterns of Poetry with an introduction entitled “Form and the Age,” in which he traces the history of form in the arts and the ways in which any form relates to the political, social, and religious temper of the period in which it becomes dominant. He then prefaces the main text with useful notes on rhyme, prosodic symbols, the major feet, metrics, and nonce forms. Also included in the book are a glossary; a bibliography; a listing of additional poems in the various patterns (poems not included in the text but of great use to teachers); an essay on the line as the prosodic unit; and an index.

You are invited to join a fascinating journey of discovery, as Marcia Birken and Anne C. Coon explore the intersecting patterns of mathematics and poetry -- bringing the two fields together in a new way. Setting the tone with humor and illustrating each chapter with countless examples, Birken and Coon begin with patterns we can see, hear, and feel and then move to more complex patterns. Number systems and nursery rhymes lead to the Golden Mean and sestinas. Simple patterns of shape introduce tessellations and concrete poetry. Fractal geometry makes fractal poetry possible. Ultimately, patterns for the mind lead to questions: How do mathematicians and poets conceive of proof, paradox, and infinity? What role does analogy play in mathematical discovery and poetic expression? The book will be of special interest to readers who enjoy looking for connections across traditional disciplinary boundaries.Discovering Patterns in Mathematics and Poetry features centuries of creative work by mathematicians, poets, and artists, including Fibonacci, Albrecht Dürer, M. C. Escher, David Hilbert, Benoit Mandelbrot, William Shakespeare, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Langston Hughes, E.E. Cummings, and many contemporary experimental poets. Original illustrations include digital photographs, mathematical and poetic models, and fractal imagery.

Literary Nonfiction. Cultural Writing. Poetry. Asian American Studies. Women's Studies. "What is an avant- garde Asian American Poetic?" NESTS AND STRANGERS: ON ASIAN AMERICAN WOMEN POETS offers an investigation into the contextual identities of diaspora, sound, and the materiality of objectification found both in and on the body through the possibilities of language and page. Essayists Sarah Dowling, Merle Woo, Sueyeun Juliette Lee, and Dorothy Wang provide a critical framework on the life, works, politics, and poetics of Asian American poets Nellie Wong, Myung Mi Kim, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, and Bhanu Kapil, four authors whose bodies of work represent the full range of Asian American poetry written since the 1970s. Authors include: Sarah Dowling, Merle Woo, Sueyeun Juliette Lee, Dorothy Wang, and Mg Roberts. "What I first thought would be a coincidental combination of very different poets and poetries unexpectedly reveals a logical trajectory from twentieth-century Asian American activism to radically innovative poetry. These poets don't just defy erasure or silencing of their individual or chosen- as-collective identities-they create and re-create selves unimaginable to those who would have subsumed their voices. The terms 'Asian American' or 'Asian American poetry' can be unsatisfactory for reducing difference. But after reading this collection, I actually opened myself up to the possibility of accepting the label: 'Asian American woman poet.'" Eileen R. Tabios "Encompassing an impressively wide range of poetic strategies and orientations within what might seem a narrow category, this lively collection of essays explores a group of Asian American women poets bonded together by a groundbreaking small press whose expansive vision offered a stage on which new, challenging forms might emerge. In so doing, these essays participate in a celebration that is both timely and well deserved." Joseph Jonghyun Jeon "This urgently needed collection of essays offers new readings of the poetry of Nellie Wong, Myung Mi Kim, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, and Bhanu Kapil as engaged with what Sarah Dowling, in an essay on Kim, calls 'the problem of how one becomes, or is prevented from becoming, a subject over time.' As the title implies, NESTS AND STRANGERS both highlights the aesthetic heterogeneity of poetry by Asian American women while at the same time acknowledging conditions of subjection that inform the poets' political commitments and make intricate forms of intimacy and embodied perception possible in the writing."
