What reading level is What is Poetry? book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In its highest form it Is but another name for absolute power And clearest insight, amplitude of mind, And Reason in her most exalted mood.
I have said that the imagination of the poet is active and creative where ours is passive and receptive. Creation and imitation have often been contrasted, and it is still in dispute which of the two elements ought to pre- dominate in art. I know little of any art but poetry, but I feel sure that there the creative and imitative tendencies are neither enemi...es nor rivals, but fellow-labourers and friends. Poetry is creative just so far as it is truly imitative, and it is truly imitative just so far as it is creative. To create without imitating is to weave tissues of gossamer. To imitate without creating is to twist ropes of sand. The poet does not invent a new order of thinofs. He sees the real order. The world is what it is. To see it as it really is, to interpret it and represent it to us who cannot see so clearly or so well, — this is the highest aim of poetry, and fidelity to Nature is its crowning triumph.
