Is there a book on the craft of writing that you recommend to poets?
I have picked up The Portable MFA in Creative Writing (The New York Writers Workshop) on and off over the years. It has chapters on writing poetry, fiction, personal essays, memoir and playwriting. It gives you assignments for "Week One," "Week Two," and so on. I always loved school, but going back to get an MFA isn't in the cards for me, at least not right now. This is a way to "scratch that itch" and be given much welcome guidance and structure!
