A classic that revolutionized the way children are taught to read and write poetry. The celebrated poet Kenneth Koch conveys the imaginative splendor of great poetry-by Blake, Donne, Stevens, Lorca, and others-and then shows how it maybe taught so as to help children write poetry of their own. For this edition, the author has written a new introduction and a special afterword for teachers.

"Excellent and enormously important. . . . I urge you to buy [the book], pass [it] around, exert influence in schools. Help stamp out the kind of poetry children are normally forced to read and write."-John Gardner, The New York Times Book Review

"A handbook, anthology and instructor's guide combined, Koch's work will instantly endear itself to writers and to teachers of every age and competence."-Library Journal

"Koch is performing an extraordinary act of education."-Webster Schott, The Washington Post

"
It deserves the widest possible audience, and in the shortest possible time."-Jonathan Kozol
