I'd like to go out on a limb and recommend a collection for anyone interested in formal verse.
The Making Of A Poem
A Norton Anthology of Poetic Forms
Mark Strand and Eavan Boland
Pantoums, Sonnets, Blank Verse, Pastorals, etc.
This collection runs the gamut and begins each section with an overview, history of the form, then many examples of each.
It is not only instructional but simply a fine anthology to add to your collection.
Cheers,
Brian
