A companion for poets from novice to master, \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Forms\u003c\/em\u003e has been called \"the poet's bible\" for more than fifty years. Filled with both common and rarely heard of forms and prosodies, Turco's engaging style and apt examples invite writers to try their hands at exploring forms in ways that challenge and enrich their work.
