Summary:This book gives readers an introduction to poetic form. It combines three types of poetry writing guides: textbooks for academic use, general guides to writing poetry, and guides to writing in form. Like textbooks, it includes poetry writing exercises and discussion of classic and contemporary poems as examples, and is logically organized to provide a complete overview of the elements of poetry writing, from diction to trope to free verse. Like general poetry guides, it has a tone lively and mature enough for those who are not undergraduates, and includes sections on journaling and inspiration, revision, publishing, and even how to assemble a poetry book. Like form guides, it provides an introduction to meter and to writing formal poetry.
