Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values (ZAMM), by Robert M.
Pirsig, is a book that was first published in 1974. It is a work of fictionalized autobiography, and is the
first of Pirsig's texts in which he explores his Metaphysics of Quality.
The title is an apparent play on the title of the book Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel. In its
introduction, Pirsig explains that, despite its title, "it should in no way be associated with that great
body of factual information relating to orthodox Zen Buddhist practice. It's not very factual
on motorcycles, either."
Initially, the book sold at least 5 million copies worldwide.[2]
Epic and lyric poems describe two of the most common and well-known types of
literature. By better understanding the ways that these types of poetry differ, readers in
general and students who are studying these types of works can not only identify an
epic or a lyric but can also better understand the meaning and purpose of these styles.

Length

Epic poems are usually quite long, much longer than lyric poems, which are short by
definition. The most famous epic poems, "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," both written by
Homer, are as long as a contemporary novel. A lyric poem, meanwhile, is usually less
than a page long.
Purpose

The purpose of an epic poem is to show us the exploits of a particular hero or set of
heroes. It usually involves important elements of history and can spread across several
countries and periods of time or across different planes of existence (for example, "The
Divine Comedy" by Dante takes place in heaven and hell. A lyric poem, though, is
usually focused on an individual emotion or experience.
Main Character

The epic poem is often written from a third-person perspective, with a writer describing
the exploits of a hero at the center of the action. For example, Achilles is the hero at the
center of "The Iliad," and Odysseus is the hero of the epic poem "The Odyssey." A lyric
poem often is written from a first-person point of view, with an "I" telling the reader about
a personal experience or emotional response.
Form

Epic poems come in several different forms, depending on the language in which they
are written and the time period. The similarity, though, is that all epics are written in
some poetic form, often including rhyming. Lyric poetry, though often in forms (such as
the sonnet), may also be written in free verse with lines that do not rhyme.
