Industry Reviews
"[A] nice addition to any poetry bookshelf, helpful for both beginning readers and long-timers who may have lost touch with the pleasures of the medium. Pinsky's prose is less cerebral than his poetry....Pinsky comes across as a wise, unhurried teacher....[A] profoundly uplifting book [that] returns to language a sense of possibility, and delight."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Brian M. Gunn (12/27/1998)
"[A] short book that should go a long way toward reuniting poetry and the public....[A]n authoritative yet accessible introduction to the tools of the poet's trade that can be read with profit by the serious student and the amateur alike."
Atlantic Monthly - David Barber (03/19/1999)
