I did find this book extremely helpful. I think it would make a great reference book for students, poets, or laymen like me. It's probably not a complete glossary even though it has over 700 pages of definitions and examples. I love the laid-back way Hirsch explains things. It's not over the top or too wordy. He really does make it easy for the average person to understand.
Even though I not an expert, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about poetry. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
