    Poems worth analyzing
    Format: Hardcover
    Each chapter is a close reading of a poem, insightful and jargon free. Maybe a bit more context and biography for my taste, but still helpful. Reawakens the reading of poetry.

    I once thought I knew about poetry. My eyes and heart have now been opened.
    Format: Hardcover
    This is the first time I have read any of her essays. Magnificent! Such insight in how each poem is constructed and what she feels about each poem. Reading this work has helped me and enriched my poetry reading by showing me new depths found in each poem. If you love poetry, give yourself a treat. Read this work.
