Bob:
Fussell's book is "Poetic Meter and Poetic Form," I believe.
I also use C. Hugh Holman's "A Handbook of Literary Terms" quite a bit, and it has helpful references to more exhaustive sources.
As this list of suggestions grows, I think it's a good idea to say again that reading ABOUT poetry must always be secondary -- important, but secondary. Reading poetry itself is primary, and reading it for pleasure, reading it aloud, listening to other people read it. That's a big advantage of the anthologies.
