"I use this book when teaching poetry workshops. I especially like the David Baker poems and explanation as well as the Kay Ryan selections. It's an intriguing look behind the scenes of crafting a poem, if you believe in that stuff. It's a decent perspective on "craft," if nothing else." — Mackenzie (4 out of 5 stars)
