Thank you Stephen!

If you like free verse you probably won't like this book. But if you want to understand more about traditional forms of poetry and how/why they work then I doubt it can be beaten. I bought it as it came highly recommended by fellow students on an OU writing course. I hardly put it down for weeks - it was great. On iambics and other forms of metre it is superb. And he gives you little exercises to do for practice. An English teacher on the same course found it similarly addictive.
Howlingly terrible (1/15 people found this helpful)
There are not many books which I read that I abandon half way through, but this, sadly is one of them. If this is someone's idea of art or writing, then they need their head examined.
So many typos in the text you have to wonder if it even passed through a copy editor. Not that it matters, this is an amateur book in every way.
