A useful, useable dictionary, and a good glossary

The book is structured in two parts: the poet's manual, and the rhyming dictionary. It was for the latter that I was origionally interested in the book, and very useful (and usable) it has proved to be.The first part is really a sort of brief encyclopedia (in about 130 pages) of poetry terms (resorting, at times, to descriptions of the various verse forms). For me, this turned out to be an unexpected bonus, introducing terms and forms that were new to me, giving me a point from which to delve further, elsewhere, if I wish.
