What is Coleridge on Poetry about?

Coleridge examines the nature and function of poetry. He emphasizes that poetry aims to provide pleasure, unlike prose which aims to communicate truth. A poem achieves this through its unique combination of words arranged through meter and rhyme, which excite attention to each part and increase overall pleasure. For a work to be considered a true poem, its form and content must be organically unified, with each part supporting and deriving from the whole through the imaginative powers of the poet.
