As I don't understand most poetry I read, I can never really appreciate them. I'm glad to know that books like these exist for readers like me.

This looks like a straight-forward look at poetry, written in easily understood terminology. I like the way the author compares poetry to music and illustrates how both utilize rhyme and rhythm.

Well I'm not the type who likes reading, usually I skim read. But reading to this book was quite easy for me as I kinda connected deeply to it.

This book seems perfect for those who would like to dapple into poetry. The concise explanations, interesting vocabulary, and added humor will make this a fun and educative reading experience. Congrats on the BOTD selection!

This is book is really wonderful, readers like me who avoid reading poetry works because we find it difficult to understand and incomprehensible will surely benefit from reading this book!

I really liked the book's approach in dealing with poetry. The author is very thorough and makes important clarifications early on, such as the idea of "proper poetry" and how this idea turns people away from poetry. In addition, the author also defends poetry as a repository of human experience and a reflection of the internal world. I am personally very enthusiastic about using literature and poetry as a basis for analysis in my field of study, which is International Relations. I am sure it would be an excellent read for me.

Poetry is an art that even I find difficult to comprehend. So I am definitely giving this book a read. Great review!

I don’t really understand poetry and everything that has to do with it, but your review is great though. Great job!

I think when it comes to poetry, trying to connect to your audience is what defines it. I think this book would do justice to what true poetry is like. Thanks for the review.
