Book
The poetry home repair manual : practical advice for beginning poets / Ted Kooser.
"Much more than a guidebook to writing and revising poems, this manual has all the comforts and merits of a long and enlightening conversation with a wise and patient old friend - a friend who is willing to share everything he's learned about the art he's spent a lifetime learning to execute so well."-- Jacket.
