Poetry: A Very Short Introduction by Bernard O'Donoghue

1.0

It was altogether too dense and too confusing for "a very short introduction". It was also 98% centered on English language poetry, which to be fair, the author warned us about in his introduction, but I think it would have been better to just make it an introduction to English-language poetry and ignore the tiny tidbits of Chinese and Ancient Greek.
