1 post | 1 read
This expanded edition adds sixteen new exercises designed to inspire creativity and help poets hone their skills. Each exercise includes a clearly-stated learning objective, historical background matter on the particular subgenre being explored, and an example written by undergraduates at Western Kentucky University. The text also analyzes work by leading American poets including Billy Collins, Denise Duhamel and Dean Young. The book's five chapters correspond with the five canons of classical rhetoric: invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery.

I told my poetry professor that I will be using this well after class has ended and I meant it. There are some amazing challenges in here. Who knew I would write TWO Abcedarian poems in one week and LIKE IT!? ☺️☺️☺️ I‘m getting some of my best writing from this class, I swear. The poem pictured is the second half of one I wrote: An Abcedarian for Abcedarians. #poetry
