A Required Text for a university course.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Open Roads: Exercises in Writing Poetry (Paperback)
This text, written by my UNM Engl 422 professor and required for the class, is excellent! It has made this class an absolute pleasure to complete. It is well-organized, concise, provides many great examples, and in general for a university textbook, it ranks at the top.

This book reads like gentle hills and dales -,
This review is from: Open Roads: Exercises in Writing Poetry (Paperback)
It's an amazing read - with knowledge abounding, but it is not force fed - truly wonderful lyrical writing about the everyday art of lyric poetry -
(I borrowed this copy from a friend) - There is another review on my Amazon page, where I had ordered it from a private seller here on Amazon, and he totally scammed - never received it, he never answered emails, etc. I was actually offended about the way he mis-treated the Author's work - it was a personal affront - Diane Thiel is AWESOME in imparting information - and when I make up that hard earned cash lost, I will seek this out and buy it proudly and lovingly - If you have a yen for the lyrical at all, (or aren't sure) - this book will lead you for real down a delightful path!
