Title: Not for those new to poetry
Review: As one who is trying to learn about poetry, I found this book way beyond me. For those who are well-versed, looking at the sound of poetry may be a wonderful new way to approach the matter. The book begins, for example, with a long discussion on how words are accented. The word accented has a stressed first syllable, while example has a stressed second syllable. While I'm sure this has a profound effect at some deep lever, for those who simply want to know how to understand poetry at the most basic level, this doesn't help.
