Poetry has always held two essential powers in perfect tension — the architectural precision of pattern and the living breath of voice — and Pattern and Voice: An Anthology of Verse brings these twin forces together in a masterfully curated collection. Compiled by John and Dorothy Colmer, this anthology gathers a rich and varied selection of poems that span literary traditions, presenting verse as both a formal craft and an intimate act of human expression. The collection is designed to instruct and inspire, guiding readers through the nuances of poetic form while allowing the distinct voices of individual poets to resonate with clarity and force. Beyond its role as a teaching text, this anthology stands as a testament to the enduring vitality of verse as a literary medium. The Colmers' editorial vision is discerning and generous, illuminating the relationship between a poem's structural design and its emotional power — a dialogue that rewards both the student and the seasoned reader alike. Whether encountered in a classroom or read in solitude, this collection leaves one wondering which discovery awaits on the very next page.
