21.

You'll learn about substitution, catalectic feet, slant rhymes, and all the other techniques which go into the making of verse. The last part of the book is an anthology which shows how the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

Gwynn's Poetry: A Harper Collins... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		One Hundred and One Famous Poems from McGraw-Hill Price: $10.85 Customer Review: I've had many of these poems for many years. This was a nice addition to the family library.

24.		Pizza, Pigs, and Poetry: How to Write a Poem from Collins Price: $5.99 Customer Review: Pizza, Pigs, and Poetry: How to Write a Poem This new Prelutsky book is absolutely fabulous! Every year I engage my middle school students in creating an extensive "Poetry Package" as one of their major projects for the year, so this book has been a GREAT resource! THANK YOU, Jack Prelutsky!... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		Poetic Meter and Poetic Form from McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages Price: $33.97 Customer Review: This book is wonderful. Fussell in opinionated and unafraid to display his own taste, but I find that a good thing (uncommon in academic writing in my experience). My favorite idea of Fussell's is that for a stanza break to be merited, something must happen in the white space _between_ the stanzas:... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		A Free Life: A Novel from Pantheon Price: $17.16 Customer Review: Unfortunately this is my first experience with this writer. I found the story a collection of fragments as suggested by other reviewers. Also, I found it terribly-written. I agree with another reviewer who said "better stick to your own language." It wasn't that anything was glaringly wrong, but... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Thirteen Ways of Looking for a Poem: A Guide to Writing Poetry from Longman Price: $63.03 Customer Review: This is an excellent idea book for the writer who is having difficulty with productivity or inspiration.

28.		R Is for Rhyme: A Poetry Alphabet (Sleeping Bear Alphabets) from Sleeping Bear Press Price: $12.21 Customer Review: Beautiful book that describes all types of poetry with explanations that are both easy and also for older students.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		Literature: Reading Fiction, Poetry, and Drama from McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages Customer Review: DiYanni gives excellent explanation and great examples of poems, plays, and short stories in his book. I actually bought this book for a Lit. class and I knew I would hate the class and the book when I saw how 'big' the boook was. Turns out I loved them both; and DiYanni in my opinion is an... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.		Mooring Against the Tide: Writing Fiction and Poetry (2nd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $64.08 Customer Review: I bought this book for my own reading pleasure to supplement the textbook for my creative writing university class. Excellent.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


31.		Rose, Where Did You Get That Red?: Teaching Great Poetry to Children from Vintage Price: $11.16 Customer Review: A follow-up to the author's equally wonderful "Wishes, Lies, and Dreams," this superb volume is one of the best sources for teaching poetry that I've ever read. How many of us found that school crushed any budding love of poetry we had, rather than nurturing it? Well, Kenneth Koch will bring that... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


32.		Paint Me Like I Am: Teen Poems from WritersCorps from HarperTeen Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I never felt bored while reading this book, I felt like I could relate to almost every poem that was going on. Every statement I interpreted it a different way but it all related somehow. I thought the author did a really good job at this poem, and the lay out of it. I would recommend this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


33.		Poem, Revised: 54 Poems, Revisions, Discussions from Marion Street Press, Inc. Price: $12.89 Customer Review: Robert Hartwell Fiske and Laura Cherry have assembled a bonanza of first person accounts from contemporary poets discussing how they revise. It is a generous and often very wise book, which will repay many readings. I predict that it will become one of those books often used in poetry workshops and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


34.		The Heath Introduction To Poetry (English Literarure College) from Houghton Mifflin Company Price: $51.44 Customer Review: I can't say this text is really that great for its purpose of being an intro to poetry because while it had hundreds of poems, it only had a few pages on meter, rhyme schemes, etc. which made it frustrating when trying to analyze a poem given the few lines on each subject.

35.		Prelude: 1799, 1805, 1850 (Norton Critical Edition) from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $18.00 Customer Review: It is interesting that Wordsworth should never have published his most impressive poem. Norton calls it the "most original long poem since Milton's Paradise Lost," and it certainly deserves to be ranked alongside the master of the English epic. This poem was not published until after Wordsworth's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


36.		101 Ways to Say Thank You: Notes of Gratitude for All Occasions from Sterling Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I am so thankful that I found this book. It offers great templates to create a meaningful note, which is so helpful in my busy life.

37.		Poet Power: The Complete Guide to Getting Your Poetry Published (Culture Tools) from Sentient Publications Price: $15.25 Customer Review: This is the book you want to get if you need lots of information on getting your poetry into print or marketing your poetry if you are self-publishing.

38.		Making Your Own Days: The Pleasures of Reading and Writing Poetry from Touchstone Price: $10.88 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


39.		The Poetry Reader's Toolkit: A Guide to Reading and Understanding Poetry from Glencoe/McGraw-Hill Price: $27.86 Customer Review: If the world made sense, this fine book would be found not only in every high school and college library, but in a lot of family homes as well, right next to the child-rearing guides and home fix-it guides. For in a world that made sense, a lot more people would grasp the transformative power of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


40.		Poetic Medicine: The Healing Art of Poem-Making from Tarcher Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I had the opportunity to meet John Fox, and I bought his two books then. I have since given them away and had to buy new copies. I found Poetic Medicine particularly useful when I taught high school English. The exercises helped my students deal with grief (that chapter is the best) and depression,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
