There are many ways to approach writing prose or poetry and this book serves as a good review of popular and obscure English literary terms. I made a pack of flash cards in case I want to flip through them while on my commute or at work. They will be useful in inspiring me to write, whether it’s to adhere to or break from the standard forms and styles. I appreciated the examples and references to specific authors and texts.
