Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-30 00:00:00 Nolan Kea If you wonder how to analyze a poem or a poet and how to start your argument I would gladly recommend this book to you. Close reading of a text was a great gift given to us by new critics and should not be taken for granted. I especially enjoyed the last chapter which encouraged the passive reader of poetry to start managing and structuring a critical essay.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-10-27 00:00:00 Duann Bambi Folk This felt very similar to Practical Criticism, which is perhaps unsurprising given that John Peck worked on the other book too. This is purely about poetry, though, so if you want to focus on getting to grips with poetry, this is probably your better bet.
