✦ Synopsis

Is it possible to teach someone how to write a poem? Or does poetry simply "come from the heart" or from a special talent only some can ever hope to have?Of course there's no formula for writing an amazing poem. If poems came with instructions like IKEA® coffee tables, we'd all be missing the point. But this book will give you some strategies--some tools, if you will--to assemble your personal, imaginative raw materials into poems that will surprise and intrigue. These strategies are focused primarily on free verse, yet many of the concepts can also be applied to form poetry, at both the inception and revision stages.How to Write a Poem uses images like the buzz, the switch, the wave--from the Billy Collins poem "Introduction to Poetry"--to guide writers into new ways of writing poems. Excellent teaching tool. Anthology and prompts included.
