Jackal, it is an excellent book to own.
Joey, I’m glad that you have it. That’s one of the reasons that I like him.

I think you both will enjoy my interview with him that will be out in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the comments!

It is in my bookbag and will be one of my next reads. I have long been a fan of Kooser. He writes with such simplicity and beauty.

Awesome, Julian!
I’m glad that you’re finding it useful.
I am really enjoying the read, too (I haven’t been able to read through it as quickly as I’d hoped).

This is the first time I’ve read a book on poetry writing and I’m surprised on how insightful it has been.

Thanks for the recommendation, Julian.

That book sounds fascinating and helpful! I shall defiantly purchase a copy off of Amazon. Speaking of poetry books, may a plug an excellent book of poetry by Indian poet Daljit Nagra. His debut book: Look We Have Coming To Dover is a really interesting book which looks at Sikhs coming from ultra- Indian cultured Punjab to one of the world’s biggest ‘melting pots’: Britain.
