Learn: How to Think Like a Poet by Dai George

#HowtoThinkLikeaPoet #NetGalley

There are many omnivorous readers who nonetheless shy away from poetry. I think that this interesting title will perhaps change that for some.

This is a well written and engaging text. In chapters entitled How to Think Like…, readers come to understand something of the life stories and works of a number of poets. Some of them will, perhaps, already be known to readers while others may not. Just a few of those included here are Homer, Sappho, Rumi, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Dickinson, Hughes, Plath and many more

I very much enjoyed learning about each poet and about poetry itself. I have no hesitation in recommending this title. I think that it is one to read slowly and savor.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bloomsbury USA for this title. All opinions are my own.
