Title: One of the most brilliant books I've ever read
Review: "How to Be Well-Versed in Poetry" is difficult to define. While mostly humorous, in some ways it could be educational. It is definitely not a book to attempt with no knowledge of poetry, but some of the amusing poems on structure, meter, and technique can help to make the ideas more concrete. If you are a fan of the classics, you'll find it difficult to read without laughing out loud. "The Ravens Reply to Poe" and the abridged "Paradise Lost" (12 lines) are hysterical.A friend recently completed his degree in English Literature, and I thought this would be the perfect book to give as a gift. Unfortunately, it is out of print and hard to find. In the process of looking for it, I have found a number of others who would like a copy. If you are the publisher, PLEASE reprint this book! If you are a reader, I wish you luck in finding a copy before I buy all of them.
