Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

As for al-Nahaw (grammar), you are advised to read (1) al-Ajroomiyah by Muhammad Muhiyyiddeen Abdul Hameed , (2) Qatr al-Nada Wa bal al-Sada by Ibn Hisham , and (3) Shuzoor al-Zahab by Ibn Hisham .
As for al-Sarf (morphology), you can read (1) Shaza al-'Urf by al-Himalawi , and (2) Duroos fi al-Tasreef by Muhammad Muhiyyiddeen Abdul Hameed .
As to language and it vocabulary, you may read al-Balagha al-Wadiha by Ali al-Jarim and Mustafa Amin and (2) Tareekh al-Balagha by Shauqi Daif .
As for poetry, al-Shi'r and al-Shu'araa by Ibn Qutaiba .
As a rule, we advise you to seek help from some scholars or student to guide in this concern. If you start with some abridged books at the hand of some scholar will be better and more beneficial.
Allah knows best.
