This book is a must for anyone who wishes to understand the world of contemporary American poetry.

A few of the essays are of lesser quality, but most are strong engagements with the diverse varieties of traditional form in contemporary American poetry.

The book overall is a provoking collection, and a good introduction to the issues surrounding contemporary poetry in traditional form.
