I am taking a poetry writing class this semester since my university does not have a songwriting class. This book honestly is a nice introduction to anyone interested in writing poetry. Though, some things I disagree with Orr on, most of his suggestions were useful. I think that it's a nice start.

A wonderful introduction or reintroduction to writing poetry, with useful and challenging writing exercises.

The author has written poetry and taught poets his whole career. A unique discussion about and approach to poetry. Includes examples from many different types of poetry (though most or maybe all white male). I rarely like writing prompts and really enjoyed the writing exercises in this book. I would reread this but there are many other books I want to read before I do. If you enjoy reading or writing poetry I got a lot out of this book and would suggest it. I really enjoyed my time with the author.

I am sorry I cannot give this book more than five stars. It is both rigorous and kind. It fad already changed my writing life.
