I've found this interesting book by Stephen Fry (he of Jeeves and Wooster with Hugh Laurie). It's title is The Ode Less Travelled - unleashing the poet within. It's not nearly as pretentious as that sounds, in fact it is rather rude at times and quite funny.

Fry goes through all the various gears of poetry and their names, deals with forms and pronounciation. There was so much to take in in one reading I'm going round again. After each chapter he sets an exersize for the reader to try.

I recommend it.

He's been a favourite of mine ever since he shocked the entire cast, crew and audience of Whose Line iS It by saying something outrageous - supposedly - to the Queen. By all means twitter to him that I am a fan of his TV program about U.S.A. too.
