About this title

From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: This new poetry writing book emphasizes poems written by readers and small press poets. Key Topics: The book does discuss traditional elements of poetry (i.e., rhyme and poetic forms), but deals more in poems that create their own form and music; the book suggests that poems needn't be somber, obscure, dull, or only about proper poetic subjects (like nature and death); it suggests that lightness shouldn't be confused with lightweight, that entertainment and clarity are not necessarily marks of shallowness, and that poems should be about anything people think about; and the book is written with the belief that people can be dissuaded from the idea that poetry can't speak to them; that it can become an enjoyable and popular art form to both read and write.
