kavyajanani's review against another edition
4.0
3.5/5
There were so many memorable passages in this book, but at the same time, I was also disagreeing with many opinions expressed in it. Like, they say that writer's block is a lazy excuse. I wonder if they had had any real writer's or poet's block. It's sickening. It's almost like an illness for many writers. Trivializing it is not acceptable.
Otherwise, it's a pretty good book about how reading and writing poetry can bring a change in our lives.

It's cute and really not bad, but I wished it had more poetry.

I liked seeing behind the poet’s curtain. Before reading this book, poetry seemed like something that some people had the talent to create from thin air. It was interesting to learn how I could find poetry in everyday life.
