How to write poetry manuals

That so desperately seeking

You’d take time from the day

To give credence to what

The accepted might say

To sit in a room

And think it away

I agree with this Harry. Any manual that tells one person's version of a technique is pretty valueless unless of course it is a dry lesson in the history of the subject - to be passed on dry as well and then dry up the spirit to dust. I've tried it with gardening books only to left sobbing and confused. Vive la Tichmarsh!
