A Poet's Guide to Poetry (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing)
A University of Chicago Press handbook that treats reading and writing as reciprocal skills. Mary Kinzie moves through syntax, rhetoric, meter, and form, using examples from medieval lyrics to contemporary free verse. The paper is substantial, the type is readable, and the exercises are practical. The Chicago cover is the familiar orange-and-black design that says you are holding a book from a press that still believes in textbooks. Ideal reader: the poet who has been writing by instinct and wants to know what the instincts are called, or the teacher who needs a textbook that does not condescend.
