BOCA RATON, Fla., February 12, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Robert Frost thought that poetry was for everyone, all classes. So "The Poetsmith" agrees. Stephen F. Knapp, "the Poetsmith", has spun a volume of easily understandable poetry entitled Good Poetry That Makes Sense (now available through 1stBooks Library).
Knapp offers the world a wealth of creative ideas and insights. Some poems are fiction like "The Angel" and "The Great Blue Heron", and others are non-fiction like "The Saddest Day" and "A Mirror to Heaven". Separated into ten chapters, Good's poems run the gamut of styles and emotions. The Love Chapter offers various styles and structures and situations on one of humanity's most complex emotions. Poems of 20 individual interests based on the 23rd Psalm structure makes up the Psalm Chapter. From golf and humor to personal and story poems, each chapter offers the reader copious choices and room for debate over which is the best. The Poetsmith believes it can "easily be understood and enjoyed by all". Good Poetry That Makes Sense is a competent poetry book waiting to be devoured by hungry readers searching for gourmet writing.
