| Publisher Description: Interesting History of "Bad" Poetry Word Origin and History of Poetaster "An inferior poet; a writer of indifferent verse. "1590s, from Middle French poetastre (1550s), from Latin poeta (see poet) + -aster, diminutive (pejorative) suffix. Old Norse had skaldfifl 'poetaster'." http: //www.dictionary.com/browse/poetaster Samuel Taylor Coleridge; The Poems of ST Coleridge; William Pickering; 1844 Samuel Taylor Coleridge writes: "Good verse most good, and bad verse then seems better / Received from absent friend by way of Letter. / For what so sweet can laboured lays impart / As one rude rhyme warm from a friendly heart? / ANON." |
