    <body><![CDATA[Fussell has a good grip on basic forms, especially within the world of formal (i.e. metrical and/or rhymed) verse, and if you don't know about the subject, he'll educate you.  That said, there are two main problems, to my mind.  The lesser one is a glut of examples, which tend to beat a dead horse -- we get it, Paul, enough already.  The greater problem is Fussell's obvious distaste for free verse.  Sure, he devotes a bit of time to it, but it reads as if it's out of obligation, and as if he really doesn't know what he's talking about.]]></body>
