Publisher : “For a class, or to work up enthusiasm about writing – and not just poetry – one could hardly do better for young people than this fresh and inviting collection.” – KIRKUS REVIEWS
How do you write poetry? It’s a question with as many answers as there are poets. Now, in this unprecedented volume, thirty-two internationally renowned poets provide words of wisdom and inspiring examples of their own work for new poets everywhere.
Compiled by anthologist extraordinaire Paul B. Janeczko, a talented poet in his own right, this outstanding resource offers a fascinating spectrum of advice from those who know best – ranging from “break a few rules” to “read Shakespeare’s sonnets in the bathroom” to “revise each poem at least thirty-two times.” Not surprisingly, the most frequently made suggestion from these seasoned poets is simply to “read, read, read!” This rich volume – an ideal resource for classroom teachers and a beautiful gift for budding writers of all ages – offers the perfect opportunity to do just that.
