Rhymes and Meters A Practical Manual for Versifiers

About the author
Born in 1882 and dying in 1972, Horatio Winslow was an American author associated with poetry, short fiction, and writing about the craft of verse.
Library and public-domain records connect him with books including Some Wander Songs and Other Verse and Rhymes and Meters: A Practical Manual for Versifiers. That mix suggests a writer who was not only producing poetry of his own, but also thinking carefully about how poems are built and how meter works.
Available catalog and author records are fairly brief, so many biographical details are hard to confirm from the sources I found. Even so, he appears as a versatile early-20th-century literary figure whose surviving work still interests readers of poetry, popular fiction, and classic guides to writing verse.
