Rob Phippen’s Reviews > Poetry For Dummies > Status Update

A superb introduction. I had ignored poetry for decades, and had an impulse to look into it. This book takes you all the way from knowing nothing at all, to having a very decent grounding in how to approach reading poetry to get maximum enjoyment, a tour of traditional poetry, and a good, long section on how to go about writing poetry.

I’m very impressed with this book, and would recommend to anyone.
