Poems about getting things wrong—and what comes next
This anthology brings together poems about mistakes ranging from small everyday slips to choices that affect other people. It also makes room for errors that lead to new ideas, using poetry to explore how mistakes can be understood, addressed, or learned from. The subject gives the collection a practical thread: some missteps call for repair, while others can open a new direction.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
Why put together an anthology about mistakes? Because we make mistakes all the time. Some are the size of erasing a hole in your paper, mispronouncing a word, or tripping over your shoelace. Some are the size of telling a friend's secret. Some can be useful, like a science experiment that goes wrong but gives you a new idea. How can we make the most of the good mistakes and do our best to fix the ones that need fixing? Poetry can help us figure it out.
