by Kenneth Koch (Author)

This classic guide by the trail-blazer of teaching poetry offers ideas and techniques that are useful at all age levels, as well as wonderful poems by his students. "...[Koch] has taken his thoughtful, giving, resourceful, and patient spirit to quite elderly and often infirm men and women, in obvious hopes of finding among them a similar responsiveness of mind and heart. If anything, the result is a more poignant and dramatic victory." -New York Times Book Review
