About the Book Poetry is a literary form that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language (e.g. phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre) to enhance the prosaic ostensible meaning, or generate an alternative meaning. Poetry uses numerous devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Poetry's long history dates back to prehistorical times ehen hunting poetry was created in Africa. Also in this Book Poetry as an art form predates written text, with the earliest poetry having been recited or sung, and employed as a way of remembering oral history. The oldest examples of epic poetry include the Epic of Gilgamesh from Bablylon and the Greek epics The Iliad and The Odyssey, and the Indian Sanskrit epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. The longest epic poems in history were the Mahabharata and the Tibetan Epic of King Gesar. Aristotle's Poetics considered that there were three genres of poetry—the epic, the comic, and the tragic. Later aestheticians identified: epic poetry, lyric poetry, and dramatic poetry. One of the most popular form since the Late Middle Ages, is the sonnet, which by the 13th century had become standardized as fourteen lines following a set rhyme scheme. The form had crystallized further by the 14th century and the Italian Renaissance, under the guidance of Petrarch.

Thomas MacKellar was born on August 12, 1812, in New York City. He was the son of Archibald and Harriet (Andrews) MacKellar.
His father, who was a native of Greenock, Scotland, had been a midshipman in the British navy; his mother traced her ancestry back to Henry Brezier, one of the original settlers in New Amsterdam.
Young MacKellar attended McGowan's Classical Academy until he was fourteen, when his father's circumstances suffered a change and the boy had to go to work.
MacKellar was first given employment in the office of the New York Spy as a compositor, but after a year he entered the publishing house of John and James Harper, where he soon was promoted from setting type to reading proof. Although he was fascinated with the work, his eyesight suffered, and he devoted himself during the remainder of his time with the firm to the practical work of printing.
Shortly before he had reached his majority he went to Philadelphia and took a position as proof-reader in the type foundry of Lawrence Johnson and George F. Smith who, in addition to manufacturing type, also set and stereotyped composition for books. In 1845, MacKellar was taken into partnership, as were the two sons of Smith, who had then retired.
The business grew extensively and rapidly. After Johnson died, in 1860, MacKellar and John F. and Richard Smith bought out his interest and formed the firm of MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan, Peter A. Jordan having been admitted to the business. MacKellar succeeded in making the foundry the leading manufactory of type in the United States.
In 1855, he began the publication of the Typographic Advertiser, of which he was editor until 1884 when he was succeeded by his son, William B. MacKellar. In its pages, he proposed an asylum for aged printers, which subsequently was endowed by George W. Childs and Anthony J. Drexel. The Specimen Book of the Johnson Type Foundry, which cost $40, 000 to produce, was largely the work of MacKellar, and he is said to have "elevated the prosaic theme of a business catalogue into a work of art". "The matter was mostly original, and being uniquely adapted to the confirmation of the differing styles of the types exhibited, attracted the attention of printers everywhere".
In 1866, he wrote The American Printer, a book for the craft, which "proved to be the most popular work on typography ever printed". The eighteenth edition was published in 1893. In his maturer years, MacKellar developed into a graceful poet. He wrote with earnestness and fluency, and his poetry is "inspired by a devotional spirit and a tender feeling to the claims of family and friendship, expressive of the author's hopeful and hearty struggle with the world".
The Memorial Ode read at the unveiling of the Soldiers' Monument, in Germantown, Philadelphia, July 4, 1883, was written by him.

MacKellar took a deep interest in religious affairs and for twenty-five years was corresponding secretary of the Philadelphia Bible Society; he also established one of the earliest mission schools in that city.
On September 27, 1834, MacKellar was married to Eliza Ross, by whom he had two sons and eight daughters.
