I was pleasantly surprised by how good this book is. It’s comprehensive, entertaining, and makes writing poetry approachable. It’s fun and thought-provoking without being pedantic - just what poetry, and a book about writing poetry, should be. ( )

This book teaches the reader about the basics of poetry and does a good job of it. It describes many different forms with examples, and goes to explain things like meter and variation, different rhyming forms, scansion, rhythm and other without being boring or too technical. It goes into discovering purpose and symbols, identifies metaphors and all that stuff they pretend everyone gets in high school classes.

I found the book enjoyable and interesting. ( )
