Review: A Classic Text - This is fantastic. It's a classic of philosophy and communication. I've been meaning to purchase this foe my home library for years and now I have it.
Review: Back to Basics - If you need a good base for any story you might want to write, this is it. Other versions of "Poetics" may be thicker (and thus may appear to have more information), but those versions can be hard to decipher if someone's not used to it. This is a fairly easy, quick read that has the same info, if a few less details here and there. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Readable
*by M***A on December 10, 2011*

I was surprised at how readable this was. Artistotle's world was very different that ours is today. He talks of poetry and drama, which we think of as separate, as being the same thing. And of the addition of a second player in that drama as being an innovation. But his talk of the use of spectacle in poetry/drama made me think of the sometimes tiresome CGI spectacles in our modern movie dramas. His observations applied equally to his time and to our most current entertainment. He was the first to write down many of the principles of plot and character that sometimes seem so obvious as to not need mentioning. And then he'll use that obvious observation to provide an insight that might not otherwise be quite so clear. Some parts are just as relevant now as they ever were. Some parts are fascinating from an historical perspective, and made me wish I were more familiar with his chosen exemplars, like Aeschylus, Homer, and Euripides. Some parts are just cool, like his dissertation on metaphors, and how to construct them. And Some parts are more wholely of his time than ours. Readable, for the most part, and anyone who professes a love of writing should read this.
