Reviews
[Orr] present[s] luminous ideas that may help novices and teachers alike. . . . [He] serves as a sage and gentle guide, sharing wisdom about the creative process and how poetry can enrich those who embrace it. . . . [A Primer for Poets and Readers of Poetry] is revolutionary . . . because it shows readers how to turn an occasional, burning impulse into a lifelong pleasure.--Elizabeth Lund "Washington Post"
