Poet Gray Jacobik mentioned to me recenlty that James Longenbach's The Art of the Poetic Line was the best treatment of the subject 'the line in poetry' that she'd ever read. And she's read a lot of literary criticism, and taught poetry for many years. Sounds like it's book that may become a minor classic and one adopted by many creative writing teachers for their course materials.

It looks like Graywolf is producing a series of books in their "The Art of..." series. Their website is bit less well laid out than I expected. On one page they had same exact book listed twice. I did see that Donald Revell has done a book for the series called the "The Art of Attention," which could be good too.
