  Summary of this Book...

Ted Kooser gives helpful advice to poets on how to improve their work, from use of metaphor to keeping form from hindering the perception of the poem.

  This type of Book is good for...

anyone aspiring to write better poetry, no matter what level they are currently at.

  I especially liked...

examples were given to illustrate the author's points, and he even shows examples of what not to do.

  I didn't like...

I would have liked to have seen more tips or even writing exercises that could be used to improve my poetry.

  When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...

write more, and better, poems. I was greatly inspired, my muse returning to me after a long hiatus.

  This Book made me feel...

like there is a lot more I need to learn about poetry.

  The author of this Book...

is the poet laureate of the United States, so he definitely knows what he is talking about in this book.

  I recommend this Book because...

if you are either a beginning poet or have a few publications under your belt, you can learn a lot from this.
