3.		In the Palm of Your Hand: The Poet's Portable Workshop from Tilbury House Publishers Price: $10.17 Customer Review: As I started to read this book, I thought I had a pretty good idea about poetry.

7.		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


8.		Poemcrazy: Freeing Your Life with Words from Three Rivers Press Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I am completely crazy about this book and I don't normally read poetry books or books about writing poetry.

13.		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.

16.		Creating Poetry from Writers Digest Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: This book is more suited for one who has started writng poetry.

17.		The Triggering Town: Lectures and Essays on Poetry and Writing from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $11.16 Customer Review: This book is neither a guide to writing poetry, nor does it provide much insight about it for "the public at large", this book is written for a very private audience, that of students of creative writing classes in the faculty where the author has been a teacher, or any students of poetry who are... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

The Best Part of Me: Children Talk About Their Bodies in Pictures and Words from Little, Brown Young Readers Price: $11.55 Customer Review: I shared this book with my third grade class in the beginning of the year.

Each child chose... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		World War One British Poets: Brooke, Owen, Sassoon, Rosenberg and Others (Unabridged) from Dover Publications Price: $2.50 Customer Review: As the First World War becomes more of an afterthought, its legacy may actually rest in the countless poems it inspired.
