Description
Book SynopsisThis new kind of dictionary reflects the use of âœrhythm rhymesâ by rappers, poets, and songwriters of today. Users can look up words to find collections of words that have the same rhythm as the original and are useable in ways that are familiar to us in everything from vers libre poetry to the lyrics and music of Bob Dylan and hip hop groups.
Trade ReviewAfter due consideration what at first seemed a rather dauntingly technical work reveals itself to have usefully practical applications both in the specific area of composition and in some respects more widely perhaps also as a tool for lexical analysis. * s *
The Word Rhythm Dictionary, a unique reference book by musician and music technologist Timothy Polashek, is designed for writers who want to add musicality to their prose, poetry, or lyrics. . . .Writers looking only for words that simply rhyme (black, back, stack, Jack) will also find them in this valuable resource. * American Reference Books Annual *
