Are there any poetry books for tecnonerds?

There are a lot of courses and books of the “physics for poets” variety. I am looking for the reverse – a “poetry for engineers and scientists” book.

When I went to college, there was a required one semester English course. Although the school was a general liberal arts university, my class had mainly engineering and science students. The teacher was not the most pleasant of people. She had a slightly contemptuous attitude toward the students and she spoke in some weird psuedo-British accent. However, her poetry analysis was spot on. A poem is one of those things that you may not be able to make sense of on your own, but if the analysis is right, it all comes together.

Are there any poetry books like that. I want a full explanation of how meaning is delivered by rhyme, alliteration and language style. I know this level of detail is like explaining a joke to someone. You lose a lot of the direct impact. Still any explanation is better than being completely bewildered and maybe, after sufficient exposure, you become more sensitized to how poetry works.
