 | | The Faber Book of Vernacular Verse(Reprint) by Tom Paulin Paperback, 432 Pages, Published 1994 by Faber & Faber ISBN-13: 978-0-571-17060-9, ISBN: 0-571-17060-9 "In this anthology, Tom Paulin aims to represent the extended family of vernacular poets and to show how Christina Rosetti, Hopkins, Whitman and other poets have drawn on the energies of popular speech such as children's chants, nursery rhymes, weather-saws and anonymous ballads in order to break with the tradition of liquid diction.
