I purchased this book for a college course. This is a great book for all those people who are pursuing poetry or are interested in writing poetry. The author provides great tips, and explains the different types of poetry: sonnets, limericks, etc. I would definitely recommend this book. :)
Great book if you want to write 69 different types of poems.

Great book. I had never done poetry. I have published a number of short stories and am in negotions on a novel. I got this book for a writing workshop I was doing at a nearby community college. It really does a fantastic job of moving over different types of poetry and the different qualities and methods of each. Over all I found it to be very illuinating. Also, it gives good exercises at the end of each chapter. Oh yeah, don't let the wierdness of the first chapter bug you out though.
This is a good start if you know you like to write, but you need fine tuning. The author explores pretty much every single genre of poetry, from the abstract to the very delicately worded Shakespeare.
explains well abstract ideas such as internal rhyme and is a great resource for those learning to write or to just improve what you do write in this modern world.
