From the Back Cover
"There may be no end to the usefulness of these writing prompts. If you're just starting to write poetry, try the easy ones. If you've been writing for a while and your poems feel predictable, these prompts can interrupt your old patterns. If you're part of a workshop, ask everyone to try the same prompt and see how many different kinds of poems it can generate. If you're teaching, assign some as in-class improvisations. This book is notable because it's not limited to prompts, but also includes examples of poems the prompts have inspired. Poems for the Writingis fun and it's just as versatile as a utility outfielder."
--Jeanne Murray Walker, author of Helping the Morning: New and Selected Poems
"With new prompts and example poems, Fox and Levin, poets and teachers themselves, here re-introduce a proven technique for injecting new life into the creative writing classroom and indeed the enterprise itself.
The book is at once:
-a textbook guide for the creative writing workshop
-a manual for the individual poet
-an anthology of idiosyncratic poems that illustrate and inspire.
It's also, more than anything, a reminder that we are all as poets thirsting for new ideas and kicks in the butt to get going."
--Elaine Terranova, author of Perdido
Praise for the first edition
"Using canny procedural approaches, Fox and Levin provide a genial and generous prompt-book for anyone wishing to write poems that are contemporary in their flavor but often traditionally inspired. And the sample poems, written with the book's prompts in mind, are delightful instructional manuals in their own right."
--Gregory Djanikian, author of So I Will Till the Ground
Review
"Authors Valerie Fox and Lynn Levin provide 18 entertaining and motivating prompts that range from the light-hearted to the serious and challenging. This is an excellent book for poets and for teachers of poetry."-NewPages
