By Lauren, Flushing, NY

"I really liked this which is odd since it is aimed at young/new poets (I'm not a poet at all). But he is funny and on-target and I think what he says about writing poetry makes the reader think differently about reading poetry. It also was very revealing about what I had been doing wrong all those years ago when I did write poetry. 9/09"
