From the Back Cover
"Using canny procedural approaches, Fox and Levin provide a genial and generous prompt-book for anyone wishing to write poems that are contemporary in their flavor but often traditionally inspired. And the sample poems, written with the book's prompts in mind, are delightful instructional manuals in their own right."--Gregory Djanikian, Director of Creative Writing, University of Pennsylvania, author of So I Will Till the Ground.
