I still highly recommend “Writing Poems” by Robert Wallace & Michele Boisseau.
I’ve had my dog-eared copy for over 25 years now, and it always comes in handy.
Do your poems a big favor and check it out.
If nothing else, it’ll keep ya grounded.
Besides that, read a wide variety of other poets.
I am guilty of not writing in-depth critiques, and the Pen has many great examples in the “spot lighting the hogs” forum. I believe that writing better critiques is a key to writing better poetry (if only I took my own advice).
