John Gardner's book The Art of Fiction: Notes on Craft for Young Writers is a great introduction for fiction writing in my opinion.
If you want one for poetry, I highly recommend Kim Addonizio's Ordinary Genius: A Guide for the Poet Within
Read lots of poetry, and not just old stuff.
Read criticisms and histories of poetry.
Read books about writing poetry. Some that I recommend:
In the Palm of Your Hand
Ordinary Genius
A Poetry Handbook
and if you're into Formalist poetry (rhyming) you may also like:
Rules for the Dance
The Making of a Poem
All The Fun's In How You Say A Thing
Write poetry. Keep writing it. Keep changing it. Scrap it. Start over.
Get criticism by posting to a forum. For metered poetry I recommend Able Muse.
