Rosen offers tips and tricks for reading and writing poems based on his experience in doing both. I enjoyed reading Rosen’s enthusiasm for poetry in these pages, and the new ideas have given my mind lots of new poetry techniques to try myself. While this may not be page-turner, this book is full of good information that I’m happy to have read.
