| Professional Reviews | <b><i>Whole Earth Review</i>:</b> "Don't let the title fool you; this is no dry prosody textbook. Mary Oliver, a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, begins at the most basic unit in poetry, the sounds of individual letters, and builds her discussion...upward from there...What sets this small book apart is her consideration of familiar poems,,,her discussion made poems I've read many times interesting to me in new ways. Admittedly, this book is only a beginning, but it is an excellent beginning and will provide some tools to open poetry up further for both poets and readers of poetry." |
