Review of “How to Write Poetry”

Substance was excellent.

Unfortunately, the substance was read WAY TOO FAST! It was read so fast that I couldn’t keep up with what was being read. And I tried.

It was like passing a beautiful work of art at 90 miles hour.

Basic grammar guide, just a toe in the water about poetry

Kind of a waste of money and time, like a third grade English class only one hour long, very basic. Not really helpful to me.

Not the best ebook

This has nothing on how to write poems. It feels like an English grammar and phonetics book for 12 year olds. The examples given were off, didn’t seem they resonated much with poetry.
