A good book for a high school student

Jay Parini's book is a good book for a high school student. The wide array of examples and explanations help guide a beginning poetry reader through the jargon in a clear and conise way. The book can be useful as a reference or to read through back-to-back. I consider it a good "textbook" for getting to know what poetry is about.
