Dictionary of Poetic Terms by Jack Myers

Just as the title promises, a collection of definitions to poetic terms, from the common to the obscure.

New American Poets of the '90s by Jack Myers

Longman Dictionary and Handbook of Poetry (LEHS) by Jack Elliott Myers

Obviously I haven't read this the whole way through, but it's the best reference book I own and I hope that something like this comes back into print. Not as complete as the Princeton Encyclopaedia, but far easier to use.
