- An “Introduction to Poetry” offers instruction for reading and analyzing poetry, defining key terms in the context of the discussion.
- “Writing about Poetry” section offers students basic tips on writing an essay about poetry and MLA style citation.
- "Index of Critical Terms" provides a cross-referenced list of terms covered in the text.
- Two Appendices shed additional light on the study of poetry: "Appendix 1: Poems Grouped by Genre, Technique, or Subject" and "Appendix 2: Traditional Stanza, Fixed, and Nonce Forms".
- Twenty-two new selections include works by Stevie Smith, Lewis Turco, Ted Kooser, Julie Kane, Natasha Trethewey, and Joshua Mehigan.
- The introductionnow includes student sample essays, providing readers with examples of strong student writing.
- Biographical headnotes now highlight common themes and ideas in each poet’s body of work, often with specific mention of the featured poem.
