"No one but Stephen Dobyns has tackled this impossible genre with such smart, sensible, and charming results. This book should be of genuine interest not only to apprentice poets but to anyone who wants to understand the choices involved in making a poem substantial and persuasive.".
The "NEXT WORD, BETTER WORD: The Craft of Writing Poetry" would be an excellent fit for aspiring and experienced writers seeking to enhance their poetic craft.
