Who is Judith Baumel from The Practice of Poetry and what is their importance?

Judith Baumel authored three of the poetry exercises, Anglo-Saxon Lines, Pantoum, and Sapphic Stanzas. All three exercises can be found in Part Six, Musical Matters: Sound, Rhythm and the Line. Baumel places emphasis on the technical and formal matters of poetry by encouraging her students to explore forms as a way to write poetry that is just as personal and strong as free verse.
