Steve Kowit is a god!

Okay, well, maybe not a god, but an amazing man from whom I was honored to take a poetry workshop class. This book "sounds" like him, and is truly the best book I have on the craft of poetry. I keep having to buy new copies, as poet friends adopt the ones I lend to them.

This is a wonderful book!

This is the best book I've read on poetry writing (and I've read a lot of 'em). It helped and inspired me to write so many poems and I learned so much from the book and the exercises included.

This is an essential for every poet's reference library.

Steve Kowit manages to light up the dark and fearful corners of resistance to writing poetry. His thorough treatment of the nuts and bolts of writing traverse the murky realms for the beginner and reinforce the familiar for in-the-trenches poets. Stuck, discouraged? Get this book off the shelf and begin again with confidence! Carol Bachofner (mim47@aol.com), Victorville, CA
