Whether you want to write a Petrarchan sonnet for your lover's birthday, an epithalamion for your sister's wedding or a villanelle excoriating the government's housing policy, this book gives you the tools and the confidence to do so with enjoyable exercises, insights and simple step-by-step advice.

 

Review

Fry's extraordinary book is an idiots' guide to the writing of poetry, a primer, a tutorial with funny turns, an earnest textbook... You can't but marvel at Fry's easy familiarity with the rictameter and the rondeau redoublé and applaud the energy of his evangelistic zeal - Independent on Sunday

With his usual wit and occasional obscenity, he takes us through an array of metrical forms and poetic structures, talking to us like a cajoling hearty teacher - Sunday Telegraph

Intelligent and informative, a worthy enterprise well executed - Observer

A smart, sane and entertaining return to basics - Daily Telegraph

Funny and instructive - Spectator

Stephen Fry is an award-winning comedian, actor, presenter and director.
