  1. Does anybody know any good poetry books on form, or have a strong emphasis on form? I got a book a few years back from a good friend, called "The Ode Less Travelled: Unlocking the Poet Within" and it has opened my eyes to the beauty of form, and has inspired me to experiment in ways I never dreamed of. First and foremost, form excites me, because it encourages me to write in ways which bring out all kinds of new expressions that, without form, would be forever missing from paper. When I use the different facets of each form to help shape a poem in a specific way, it's cool seeing how creative I can be in such confines. Second, form helps me develop and write in my own forms better, because it gives me so many possibilities I would otherwise not utilize. It also shows me that the more I write in a set form, even my own forms, that I become more aware of the different ways poetry can be used to affect the overall tones and moods of my poetry, based on the shape of the poem, and how it affects syntax. Now, I never really studied form, or practiced it until I got this book, but I'm glad I have. Forms are so great to work with, and it encourages one to play with words in ways that can be highly satisfying, as well as down right fun. So, if anybody knows of any that are worth adding to my library, let me know.... emphasis on form.
