Editorial Reviews
Review
Great advice, good humor, excellent examples . . . and not textbooky. Playful and accessible, the continuing point that you don t have to get poems to get them will ease a lot of minds. This is an important work on a mysterious subject the reading of poetry. I learned a lot. Painlessly. --Rebecca Rule, author of Could Have Been Worse
