Official Review: Making Sense of Poetry by Rex W Last

[AntonelaMaria]

I like poetry very much. I don't know how much this would befit me. Probably need to check out the sample before I decide. Great job right the review.

[Reema Aydieh]

I agree that sometimes poetry can be boring but I realised that once you get to understand the meanings behind them it’s not that dull. This sounds like an interesting book that could make you appreciate poetry.

I'm not interested in poetry so I don't think I'll enjoy reading this book. Thanks for the review!

I feel like poetry is so often overlooked nowadays! However, it is so meaningful and I think many people would benefit from a little dose of poetry now and then. I love that there's a book like this that makes poetry seem more "approachable." You've convinced me; I'm definitely going to read this book! Thanks for the review!

I too never really enjoyed poetry and always preferred prose. I like that this book goes into the relevance of poetry because I’ve heard poetry has been an important tool throughout history and I’d love to learn a bit more about that

[AvidBibliophile]

Some people definitely shy away from poetry, thinking the interpretations will present too much of a comprehensive challenge. Poets often employ a use of vague verbosity to sound more musical or give their passages a melodic rhythm, and while some readers love that sort of literary dance, others avoid it entirely. I appreciate that this author speaks of poetic relevance and goes on to include exercises that help guide readers through interpretative approaches. I’ll be checking this one out soon!

This book's unique writing style will help the reader to easily relate with the persona of the poems and even comprehend the subject of each poem.

[Emmanuela Amasiobi]

This book would come in handy in my understanding and appreciation of poetry. Thank you for an honest review.

[Hyacinth Bella]

I think poetry is an art that needs not to make sense, or be understood by every reader. I think poetry is there to make us feel something, because that's what art does. Thank you so much for the wonderful review!

[Alice Fu]

This book seems like one that would be really useful for those who can't fully grasp the importance of poetry, or those who are trying to get into it but don't know where to start. While I am normally not necessarily interested in poetry, I did recently sign up for a class in which I think this could be helpful. I believe this could help me appreciate the poetry more in my class when the class begins, so thank you for introducing me this book with your review!

I'm not a lover of poetry but this review affirms that the author has done a good job.

I like that the book is focused on introducing readers to all the richness and finesse that poetry has to offer. It is commendable that the author has structured a relatively simple process in 12 steps towards a better interpretation of poems.

[Claire Zondo]

I'm not a big admirer of poetry, partly because I don't know how to interpret it. Im not interested really interested on learning how to understand poetry at the moment. This appears to be the type of book to have on hand while dealing with Literature. Thank you for the review!

[Zulaykha_001]

I don't enjoy poetry because it seems boring to me most times. I trust this book will be a perfect guide for me to understand and appreciate poetry better. Thanks for the great review

[Kajori Sheryl Paul]

I have always been intrigued by poetry.

Thank you for the great review.
