1.		Wishes, Lies, and Dreams: Teaching Children to Write Poetry from Harper Paperbacks Price: $11.94 Customer Review: I've used this over the years with all kinds of populations. I wish that he would revise it with more practical advice in the instruction part - particularly in how to present the exercises to different age groups.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Rose, Where Did You Get That Red?: Teaching Great Poetry to Children from Vintage Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I love this book, and it's a must if you are getting Wishes, Lies & Dreams. I wish that he had more poetry for younger children, with tips on how to help them understand it.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.	[no image]	Speaking the Truth in Love from Stephen Ministries Customer Review: This is a wonderfully-written book for those of us who find it difficult to express our own needs. Placed in a Christian context, this book removes the guilt from not agreeing with people. Its premise is based on good, sound psychology: we all are valuable individuals, worthy of being treated with... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Making Your Own Days: The Pleasures of Reading and Writing Poetry from Touchstone Price: $11.92 Customer Review: This is excellent for beginning readers and writers of poetry. In the essays at the beginning, Koch is successful at convincing the reader that poetry is not as hard as we make it out to be. If we relax and don't allow ourselves to be intimidated, we can enjoy poetry. The rest of the book is devoted... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Sleeping on the Wing: An Anthology of Modern Poetry with Essays on Reading and Writing from Vintage Price: $9.56 Customer Review: Fun tour through the ins and outs of poetry from Whitman to Koch. A bit reductionist, but a great way to read the greatest hits of a handful of greatest poets and fill up a notebook of your own. Great for the classroom too.

6.		The Collected Poems of Kenneth Koch from Knopf Price: $21.86 Customer Review: Although the book was somewhat worn, it holds together well - physically as a book, metaphorically as a collection of thoughtful and insightful words.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.	[no image]	Talking to the Sun: An Illustrated Anthology of Poems for Young People from Metropolitan Museum of Art N.Y.ISBN0805001441 Customer Review: If you have one book of poetry, or one book of art reproductions, for your family (or for yourself at any age), this may be it. All of the poems are short and vivid, and the images are stunning, as befits a book issued by a museum. The choice of poetry may not be everyone's cup of tea, as the New... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.	[no image]	How I wrote certain of my books from SUN Customer Review: 5 stars, but only as a companion piece or annotated SAMPLE-PLATE since that's what it is. Find Cunningham's translation of Locus Solus (very hard to find, even at big libraries) and read that first. Personally I would have paid the $15 entry price for "How I Wrote Certain of My Books" even if the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Art of the Possible!: Comics Mainly Without Pictures from Soft Skull Press Price: $23.00	Click here for more information


10.		One Train: Poems from Knopf	Click here for more information


11.		Kenneth Koch: Selected Poems (American Poets Project) from Library of America Price: $20.00	Click here for more information


12.	[no image]	On the Edge: Collected Long Poems from Knopf Price: $14.96	Click here for more information


13.		I never Told Anybody: Teaching Poetry Writing to Old People from Teachers & Writers Collaborative Price: $16.95 Customer Review: The simplist, profoundest stories are laid out in a delicate and spare way by Koch's nursing home students. Don't shy away because it might be sad- rejoice that Koch got these stories before they were lost. These aren't the poems people might write to impress others or even themselves- they explore... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.	[no image]	The Art of Love: Poems from Random House Inc (P) Customer Review: I first discovered Kenneth Koch in a Boston bookshop, looking through volumes of poetry while waiting for a friend. I read a few excerpts from "The Collected Poems" ('Talking to Patrizia' and 'To Marina' were the first two I read). Later on, I invested in my own copy. Recently, I took the Art of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

16.		The Art of Poetry (Poets on Poetry) from University of Michigan Press Price: $18.95 Customer Review: There are those who speak of the "anxiety" of poetry, but there is a case to be made for poetry that results not from agony or a confessional impulse but out of pleasure, the desire to communicate pleasure to an audience hungry for it. Koch generates as much pleasure as any poet, and it is not only... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		The Green Lake Is Awake from Coffee House Press Price: $14.00 Customer Review: I first encountered Ceravolo almost 6 years ago, after first diving into Celan. The odd conjunction proved more fruitful than one might think. Underneath the green lake's awake surface, tense with linguistic wit and ingenuity (so characteristic of the New York School--for better or worse) is a dark... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		New Addresses from Knopf Price: $15.00 Customer Review: ... definitely not what I expected when I first ordered it, but the book has grown on me some. It's basically a collection of poetic addresses from the poet to various aspects and times of his life. The one for "Carelessness" is my favorite at the the moment, but many others have struck chords with... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.		Sun Out: Selected Poems 1952-1954 from Knopf Price: $15.00 Customer Review: This book combines largely unpublished short poems of the early 1950s with the mock-epic "When the sun tries to go on," published in the late 1960s but pretty much unavailable now. This early Koch is particularly refreshing. Koch died in July of 2002 and has published many volumes of poetry, and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
