""The intelligence that distinguishes Ethel Rackin's own poetry manifests in the eclectic selections, clear explanations, and accessible exercises filling Crafting Poems. In a friendly, conversational tone, Crafting Poems frankly addresses the vulnerability of writing (and reading) poetry and the courage it takes to commit to the work while offering valuable wisdom and cheering on developing poets to take the leap. After decades of photocopying poems from dozens of sources to provide students with a genuine range of formal and experimental, traditional and contemporary verse, I've found everything I need to teach poetry in one wondrous volume."" -- Elizabeth Savage, Fairmont State University
