Book details
Summary
Description
The Mind’s Eye, written by a published poet, focuses on imagery and sound and has the added benefit of being concise, inexpensive, and handy. Contemporary poetry as well as traditional form is discussed, with an emphasis on contemporary poets — more than ninety of them — and three student poets. Chapters deal with difficult topics such as racism, war, mortality, gender, and more.

I've been using this book for teaching my Poetry Writing Workshop for years, and most students who are new to poetry, find it clear, easy to read, and helpful. It's somewhat expensive, but I haven't found a worthy substitute.
