This is a great way to get into or back into poetry! I already love poetry and spend a lot of my time both reading and writing it, so a good deal of it wasn't exactly meant for me, but I still appreciated reading it, and it was brief enough that it never got boring. Some sections were inspiring and others were helpful reminders of some of the basic strategies I don't think of trying anymore. I definitely have notes to write down from this book before returning it to the library! But I'd mostly recommend this to people who are hesitantly interested in poetry but afraid they don't get it or won't know where to start.
