Product Review
Formal techniques aren't overlooked in a title which encourages self-expression through poetry; but neither are they touted as the sole vehicle for literary pursuit. The idea here is that writing can offer psychological healing: use this guide to master imagery, metaphor, rhythm and poetic elements, then create some strong, meaningful works. --

Product Description
Poetry discovers and speaks a truth ordinary language cannot express. Poet-teacher Fox reveals how imagery, sound, methaphor, rhythm and other poetic elements can help us tell our inner story, heal psychological wounds, discover spiritual connection, and develop the rich creative imagination that lies within us all.
Reader ReviewsI have written (often bad) poetry as a means of expressing myself since I was 9 years old. After going through this book, I have been amazed at the depth of feeling that has been hiding in me all these years! You will be amazed at the beautiful poetry you can create given the right tools and instruction. Even if you think you're not creative and can't write a word, I hope you'll try this book...you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that you can create poetry if given the opportunity.
