Do you want to write a poem? This book will show you ‘how to grow
your own poem’… Kate Clanchy has been teaching people to write
poetry for more than twenty years. Some were old, some were young;
some were fluent English speakers, some were not. None of them were
confident to start with, but a surprising number went to win prizes
and every one finished up with a poem they were proud of, a poem
that only they could have written – their own poem. Kate’s big
secret is a simple one: to share other poems. She believes poetry
is like singing or dancing and the best way to learn is to follow
someone else. In this book, Kate shares the poems she has found
provoke the richest responses, the exercises that help to shape
those responses into new poems, and the advice that most often
helps new writers build their own writing practice. If you have
never written a poem before, this book will get you started. If you
have written poems before, this book will help you to write more
fluently and confidently, more as yourself. This book not like
other creative writing books. It doesn’t ask you to set out on
your own, but to join in. Your invitation is inside.
