Michael Gouker reviewed The Poet's Companion by Kim Addonizio
Review of "The Poet's Companion" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I had this text for a poetry class. Addonizio is a good poet with several excellent books published, which are better sources for her writing. This book shares the joy of poetry (the experience of reading and writing it), but I don't think you can learn how to write poetry this way. My advice is to read poetry until something hooks you and then begin your personal exploration.
I recommend you begin with Every Day You Play by Neruda.
