Useful text, well writtenGood value

Though I spent four years as an English major, poetry somehow has never been a form of writing I have spent much time with nor have felt the loss thereof. In fact, having been born on International Bad Poetry Day— August 18 (it’s a thing, apparently)— I suppose you could say the stars have aligned to keep me from the poetical arts. However, one can not appear too ignorant, and that is where this delightful book comes in. Dalzell takes the reader whipstitch from the Greeks and the Romans through to Rupi Kaur (whom, if you don’t know, apparently has 2.6 million followers on Instagram), all in the space of 250 or so pages. The book is an easy, fun read with enough meat on the bones to make me maybe even think about reading some actual poety.

Tiny sun for learning literature

I find the information impressive and some of it is hard to find anywhere else.I would have liked more examples of different kinds of poetry; after all, I boughtthe book to learn how to write my own poetry. This is more biography and lessdo it yourself.
