A Poet\'s Craft transcends the limitations of current books, combining the best of three types of poetry-writing guides: textbooks for academic use, general guides to writing poetry, and guides to writing in form.
Finch\'s book goes further than any poetry-writing Guide now available to give readers a thorough, eclectic, and exciting introduction to every aspect of the art of poetry..
Like form guides, A Poet\'s Craft provides an introduction to meter and to writing formal poetry.
Like general Poetry guides, it has a tone lively and mature enough for the nonundergraduate, and includes sections on journaling and inspiration, revision, publishing, and even how to assemble a Poetry book.
Like textbooks, it includes poetry-writing exercises and discussion of classic and contemporary poems as examples, and is logically organized to provide a complete overview of the elements of Poetry writing, from diction to trope to free verse.
