Whether we read poetry or write it, our Book of the Week is the perfect inducement to both broaden and deepen our engagement. In Actions & Travels: How poetry works, Anna Jackson leads us to consider simplicity and resonance, imagery and form, letters and odes — and much more — and provides insightful readings of 100 poems of all sorts and all eras to show us how to get the most out of words — our own or someone else's.
