Description
If you've ever wanted to communicate through poetry, or if you want to improve your poetry to a level where it could be published, this book should help you find your voice. Covering all aspects of poetry, from imagery to cliche to different styles of writing, it looks at tapping your creative potential and demystifying the craft. It also gives practical advice such as when and where to write, how to criticize your own material and how to present your work for publication. Creative exercises feature throughout the book to help the reader improve technique and suggestions for further reading (via the Internet as well as books) allow the reader to continue their interest and build on the skills developed.
