Summary:

Plenty of people want to write poetry. Yet while it is not necessarily difficult to write poetry, it is hard to write it well. In How to Write Poetry, mainstream poet Fred Sedgwick shows how the creative process works, from the initial impulse to write all the way through to writing crafted and expressive finished poems. Unlike typical poetry writing books, which include dry discussion of mechanics (e.g. what a spondee is) that are completely unrelated to writers' desires to express their feelings and articulate their experiences, this guide starts with the experiential and the expressive and only in relation to these artistic impulses discusses matters of technique.Includes poetry examples from: Maya AngelouElizabeth BishopEmily DickinsonCarol Ann DuffyTed HughesSeamus HeaneyPaul Muldoon
