[jforjames at aol.com]

Actually, Chris, if you go down into the comments area you'll see the more readable version of the first list which you did for me. I'll correct Tad on one point, though I initiated this compilation, and added many of the titles from my?personal library,?it was a collaborative effort and many people on the NewPoetry list suggested titles. 
I have at least 25 more to add in next version. 

Annie Finch who knows a thing or two about meter has mentioned this book on serveral ocassions,..it's also on the list...
Versification: A Short Introduction, James McAuley, Formalism/Metrics. Michigan State U. Press 1966

Sam Gwynn and Robin Hamilton surely have an opinion on what books are best for the study of metrical poetry.
They must be on vacation.
