That's quite a decent review, Aaron.  It's a good book indeed. I bought it a few years ago, along with Davis's "The Songwriters Idea Book". She may be the first teacher (in the area of songwriting) to have looked at the craft of writing lyrics in such a linear fashion. Another excellent one of hers you might like to look at (if you haven't already) and review is " Successful Lyric Writing". Published in 1988, three years after "The Craft", its a step-by-step course & workbook, covering theory, principles, and song forms. " Successful Lyric Writing" is all nitty-gritty, hands-on, and very easy to work with. At the moment, I'm doing a series of online classes (and assignments) based on the book. They're real eye-openers. Donna

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
