Why read it?
1 author picked Writing Metrical Poetry as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Of all of the poetry how-to manuals that I have read over the years, Writing Metrical Poetry proved the most insightful and practically useful.
I came late to my love of poetry, and writing it proved more difficult than writing prose. Traditional forms, such as sonnets, were especially intimidating. The exercises started at the most basic forms and grew gradually more complex, allowing me to practice at my own pace. I find myself going back to it again and again.
