Review: I have come back to this book for a second time to come up with further ideas for my private language lessons, and again i found this book a bit irritating. Certainly, there are some interesting exercises here but I would have preferred less exercises and the space used to give further examples. Each entrant claims to practice the exercise they offer so why not give us a couple of examples from their students. A second issue I have is, in a few instances, a list of examples is given. Unfortunately, may of these are unavailable on the net, and my library of poetry books is not so extensive. I simply don't possess that many volumes of American poetry. This book tries to be user-friendly, and that is to be applauded, but some of the entries seem so vague that I lost patience in trying to work them out. I don't wish to be completely dismissive of this book but if you only wish to buy one book I would not make it this one.
