LITERARY STUDIES

As M.H. Abrams reminds us, versification is "an art" (1999, p. 247). It's a skill poets hone through practice and experimentation, crafting rhythmic landscapes that resonate with both ear and soul. So, the next time you encounter a poem, listen closely. Hear the music woven into the words, savor the interplay of rhythm, rhyme, and meter, and marvel at the transformative power of versification.
