Let’s keep this short and simple. This book was educational and probably the reason I understand most of the poetic designs presented to me at University. This one of the greatest book for poetry noob. Hell, I didn’t think I was a poetry noob but my Poetry class and this book proved I was. Although I only read the passages imposed on me for class (pretty much 3/4 of the book), those passages were detailed and concise, and filled with examples to every term presented. Overall, a great and important read for poetry students or poetry lovers/writers, etc.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
