Cons nope

Mary Oliver's A Poetry Handbook is one of those books on writing that I think will become a workbook for anyone interested in poetry.

Oliver is quite clear in her introduction that, like most people, she firmly believes that making poetry is not something that can be taught in school;... Read full review »

Professional Reviews

Whole Earth Review: "Don't let the title fool you; this is no dry prosody textbook. Mary Oliver, a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, begins at the most basic unit in poetry, the sounds of individual letters, and builds her discussion...upward from there...What sets this small book apart is her consideration of familiar poems,,,her discussion made poems I've read many times interesting to me in new ways. Admittedly, this book is only a beginning, but it is an excellent beginning and will provide some tools to open poetry up further for both poets and readers of poetry."
