Does anyone have a suggestion for a good book of practicing poetry? I tried to find The Practice of Poetry by Robin Skelton, but it seems its out of print, and The Practice of Poetry by Robin Behn seems not so good. Anyone? Please! |

The best way to 'practice' poetry is writing, a lot. But, if you want a book that can help you along a good one is "Yhe Dicovery of Poetry" by Frances Mayes. |

it has exercises all though it, just about every poem you read through the book has questions about to poem to tune you in to the mehanics wiht in the powm then has exercises to practice those mechanics. |
