A Kick in The Head
If you're looking for a guide that will explain with examples some of
the more popular poetic forms—a few exotic forms thrown in for good measure—look
no further than this book. I can keep you writing for months. Once again
I had the good fortune of having Chris Raschka illustrate one of my books.
The guy's amazing. But you don't have to take my word for it. Give this "everyday
guide to poetic forms" a read and you'll see what I mean.
