SparkNotes Ultimate Style: How to Write Poetry

Description

Muses, inspiration, and other mysterious advice have no place in our practical how-to guide to writing poetry. We tell students everything they need to know to actually sit down and put a poem together, including fundamentals such as rhyme, meter, rhythm, line breaks, and free verse. We teach students to make deliberate choices about how they structure a poem, and how individual poetic elements can affect the work.
