Poetry is…wait for it…

Book review:

How to Read a Poem

  and Fall in Love with Poetry

by Edward Hirsch

New York: A DoubleTakeBook, Harcourt Brace and Co., 1999

354 pages

How to Read a Poem is a many-splendored reference work for poets.

Try to forget that Hirsch is a bit lazy and ends up saying that poetry is everything.

Many of his short essays are luscious.

If you’re interested, you can learn some good stuff here.
