Abstract
R e v i ew s Poets on Teaching: A Sourcebook Joshua Marie Wilkinson, ed. Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 2010 Kevin Craft Poets on Teaching: A Sourcebook is an odd duck — part dabbling, part diving, both eclectic and typical by turns. As a teacher, I generally look forward to books offering new ways to think about the presentation of poetry in the classroom. I have gotten a lot of mileage out of my old battered copy of Robin Behn’s The Practice of Poetry (1992), both from direct appropriation of the exercises therein and through instigation to invent similarly effective prompts and pitches, at all levels of the game, from middle school to graduate school. The Practice of Poetry is now nearly twenty years old. Despite a glut in poetry publishing (as in every other field), very few general- purpose books with a practical focus on teaching verse and verse writing have appeared since The Practice of Poetry first landed on my desk in 1992. In this regard alone, I was excited to see a new book tackle the sub - ject head- on, and this by a young writer and editor whose work I admire. Wilkinson
