5 out of 5 stars Great dialogues on poetry   April 26, 2002
There's a ton of books of poetry, but not very many accesible ones about the nature of it or poets in general. This book fulfills on all levels in this respect. By pointing out clear, quoted examples of the good, the bad and the pretentious - all in a way that anyone could understand - this book makes you want to run out and write one of your own.

An excellent reference book of poetic thought, and not overly long.
