"John Redmond's "How to Write a Poem" contains no false
notes. He does not patronise his reader with easy examples or
workshop games, but lights on his subject with elegant pragmatism
and humility. His overall argument arises from a very personal yet
wholly professional sense of poetry as an art form in practice, and
his examples are informed by deep reading and writerly intuition. I
consider the book a small masterpiece of clarity, economy and
experience. It brings light to poetry as something made: something
real and realised." David Morley, Warwick University
"The examples throughout the book are contemporary and provocative in the most helpful sense. ... [Redmond] clearly loves poems, enough to show you in detail how they work." Poetry News
