“You master form you master time.” That’s Glyn Maxwell’s mantra throughout this clever little book. Books like On Poetry basically give the author a chance to display his favorite poems and to celebrate his favorite poets. Glyn Maxwell likes Robert Frost, Yeats, Emily Dickinson, and Shakespeare. I always enjoy books where the writer is passionate about his material. You’ll find Glyn Maxwell an amiable guide to poetry and its forms. GRADE: B+
Good for you, George. I need to read more about poetry. I did read (and write) a lot 25 years ago but haven’t kept up at all.
Patti, ON POETRY is a nice little book to rekindle a love of poetry. Glyn Maxwell’s poetry selections made me want to read more poetry!
