Poetry practice through exercises and essays

More than 90 poetry-writing exercises are paired with essays in this collection, linking practical prompts with reflections from poets who teach. The format gives the book a workshop-like structure: exercises offer starting points for writing, while the accompanying essays provide context for approaching the work. Its scope is poetry practice rather than a single argument about poetry, making it a resource organized around trying different ways into writing.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Poets seeking structured writing prompts
  • Writers at varied experience levels
