Publisher's Synopsis
Since its first publication, this dictionary has been used as a reference source for poets and writers seeking the right words and rhythms to express themselves. The handbook section of the book provides a convenient reference source on patterns of rhythm, including definitions and illustrations of each of the regular meters, and examples of every fixed form of lyric poetry. The second and main section of this book, the rhyming dictionary, is a listing of rhyming words which are divided into sections according to the number of syllables in the rhymes as well as their alphabetical placing.
