| | Narrative poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Some have speculated that some of the distinctive features that distinguish poetry from prose, such as metre, alliteration, and kennings, at one time served as memory aids that allowed the bards who recited traditional tales to reconstruct them from memory. | | | Many scholars of Homer, from Quintus Smyrnaeus forward, have concluded that his tales of the Iliad and Odyssey were composed from compilations of shorter narrative poems that related individual episodes, and which were more suitable for an evening's entertainment. | | | Some narrative poetry takes the form of a novel in verse. |

| | That where one read Lawrence's poetry for his apprehension of creaturely life, his sophisticated atavism, and his rational thinking (as well as for his language), with Thomas, the poetry relied on its linguistic achievement. | | | Although the principled rebelliousness of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry requires that it reject its immediate precursors, Charles Olsonand the New York School, it is a continuation of the submission to chance and the immersion in process that we see in aleatory Black Mountain poetics. | | | They are not necessarily hostile to earlier poetries; indeed, the examples of Emily Dickinson and John Milton inspire them in their isolation, self-sufficiency, fundamental seriousness, and renovation of poetic language. |

| | Poetry is one of the most expressive writing styles because it may provide insight to the soul and represent any emotion. | | | Dramatic poems resemble narrative poems because they tell a story and are fairly long; the poet tells the story through speach of one or more of the characters in the story. | | | Narrative poems that tell a story and are usually rather long. |

| | This Song: Conspicuous Poetry in Hebrew Prose |
| | The use of inset poetry should therefore be considered part of the generic repertoire of ancient Hebrew narrative. | | | The juxtaposition of the darkly ominous Song of Moses with the optimistic Blessing of Moses reproduces in poetry the cycles of curse and blessing, warning and hope in Deuteronomy 27-30. | | | Though it is clear that many Egyptian texts use both prose and poetry, or at least various levels of poetry, translators differ in where they place the boundaries between the modes. |

| | Epic Poetry: Oral Narrative Verse |
| | The generic label "epic" comes from the Greek "epos," which means "word," referring to the feeling and ethical intent of the speaker rather than to form or subject matter. | | | Because we read these works in translation rather than hear them performed in the original language, we fail to understand how these repetitions gave the bard a second to remember his place in the narrative. | | | The Iliad and the Odyssey, called "primary" epics because they first established a way of narrating long stories, dominated the literate production of the "secondary" epics written by Homer's successors. |

| | Dana Gioia Online - Robert McDowell |
| | Their lives represent an unexplored region of contemporary poetry, and it is fascinating to see what McDowell makes of them. | | | Yet for all its narrative thrust, The Diviners remains palpably poetic, even if its lyric turns as often come in the evocative juxtapositions between scenes as in the scenes themselves. | | | As a poet, I could not resist making careful notes on McDowell's narrative technique, and I suspect The Diviners will prove influential among young writers for its surprising solutions to the problems of the long poem. |
