A review by _bookmoth
An Introduction to Poetry by Joe (X J. ). Kennedy, Dana Gioia

4.0

This is book I would have wanted when I studied English Language and Literature. It has a wide variety of poems, discusses all the basic concepts of poetic analysis, discusses the different kinds of criticisms (historic, deconstructionist, etc.)., and tells the reader how to write proper essays. This book is a gem to have for anyone who would like to know more about analysing poetry.
