Mary Olivers A POETRY HANDBOOK

Mary Olivers A POETRY HANDBOOK is a must for poets of all skills. As a beginning poet, I had never attempted to do any writing whatsoever. I began consulting the book for guidance and suggestions on how to be an effective writer. Olivers knowledge can teach a novice how to write poetry while at the same time helping more advanced shape their work. I would highly recommend this book as an essential tool for any poet.

A Poetry Handbook > Customer Review #2:
Simply the best short book for writers of poetry

Mary Oliver chose to avoid teaching so she could concentrate on her poetry. Too bad for students. Here, however, she gives students and accomplished poets alike a sensible and sensitive handbook that conveys not only the craft of poetry but its power, its mystery, and its magic. Readers who say they dont like poetry should give Oliver a chance to change their minds and hearts

A Poetry Handbook > Customer Review #3:
Too Technical

I did not like this book. I thought it was too technical. Ms.Oliver stresses the structure of the poem too much.
I know this is important but still it was hard for me to understand. This book is difinitely for an advanced student.
