Summary: A Fine Introductory Tome
Comment: I have enjoyed learning about these forms, some for the first time. I have enjoyed using this book in my writing groups. Some of the examples chosen are certainly exquisite. ... Though I will likely look into other more developed treatments. Nonetheless I heartily recommend this one; the authors balance enthusiasm with scholarly laissez-faire.

Summary: One of the best books on poetry
Comment: There are many books about "what poetry is," especially in this time when Contemporary American poetry has taken off. This one is one of the best and should be included in all poetry collections. This book is the only one I have found that shows the poetic forms and their contemporary contexts (after all, free verse borrows from the forms). This book also joins the Contemporary and Modern poets with the Romantics, Classical, et al. Both Strand's and Boland's essays and views should be embraced for their insight and knowledge--did the negative reviewers actually read this book? The Making of a Poem is a treasure that acknowledges and celebrates poetry, moving past what the title implies.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great poetry
Comment: The choice of poems in this book is great, the design is beautiful and it can sure be very helpful for anyone who loves poetry. Just the best.
