A Poet's Guide to Poetry by Mary Kinzie

2.0

This was a challenging book to get through. As a writer of poetry, I was excited to learn more about how to write stronger poems. I found A Poets Guide to be heavy on poetic terms which may make this a hard read for novice poets. I also didn't realize there were poems in the poetry sampler and what page which made poems hard to reference. This definitely feels like a college level text, one which would best be helped by additional explanations. I did find some of Kinzie's points helpful, but this may not be the first book I turn to when writing a poem.
