The first volume in the series _Phonetics and Phonology_ would be quite
useful for this area: _Phonetics and Phonology Vol. 1: Rhythm and
Meter_ edited by Paul Kiparsky and Gilbert Youmans, Academic Press,
1989.  It contains a useful introduction to the field, a paper by
Jackendoff "A Comparison of Rhythmic Structures in Music and Language"
and I personally think Bruce Hayes's "The Prosodic Hierarchy in Meter"
is the most significant contribution to prosody in a long time.
