Review:
"Discussions of prosody usually make for yawns and heavy eyelids, but John Hollander's book, now usefully augmented, is a sparkling performance. He defines and illustrates the forms and means of English verse in such a way as to teach us, also, the spirit of play which animates even the gravest poem." -- Richard Wilbur
"Marvelously comprehensive, clarifying and useful ... also a delight to read."
