We have long conceived the idea of compiling a poetry textbook in a way different fromother such books in which the materials are arranged chronologically, believing that it issignificant to tell the students what poetry is in terms of poetic types and poetic elements. It isour best wish that we made this textbook sufficient enough for students to know what type apoem belongs to and what principles a certain type of poem follows. Therefore this book is oneof both knowledge about poetry and sample poems.
This book is different from other poetry textbooks in the following ways. First, focusis shifted from poets to knowledge about poetry and sample poems. The poetic knowledgeis explained in great detail and simple terms. The book provides students with a systematicexplanation of types, elements and themes of poetry. Second, a comparative approach is adoptedin designing some questions for discussion. Many English poems are studied in a comparativecontext, eliciting students attention to both English poetry and Chinese poetry. Third, thedesign of the questions is bold in the sense that various tasks are assigned: ranging fromanalyzing, reciting, translating to making comments, making comparisons, and even experiencingpoetry-writing.
The purpose of this textbook is to give students a whole picture of what poetry is, so poetryis here studied from many perspectives.

Rhythm refers to any steady pattern of repetition, particularly a regular recurrence ofaccented or unaccented syllables at equal intervals. It is the basis for poetrys musical effect.Depending on how sounds are arranged, the rhythm of a poem may be fast or slow, choppyor smooth. A poet normally uses rhythm to frame pleasurable sound patterns, to construct amood, to create a response suitable to the sense of his words and ideas, and lastly to reinforce hismeaning.
Meter is the regular rhythm created by the repetition of similar patterns of accented andunaccented syllables. A fact that needs to be recognized is that frequendy two lines may be of thesame meter, whereas the rhythms of the lines may be different. Meter is the structure but rhythmis the movement, and these two are related to each other. The basic unit of meter is the foot, aunit of measure consisting of stressed and unstressed syllables. A poetic foot includes six kinds:iambic, trochaic, anapestic, dactylic, spondaic and pyrrhic.
An iambic line is composed primarily of iambs, an unaccented syllable followed by anaccented syllables, as in the word preVENT or conTAIN. Read the following line:
The FALLing OUT of FAITHful FRIENDS, reNEWing IS of LOVE
（*Capitalization indicates stressed syllables, lower case letters unstressed ones.）
