Compiled from the workshop assignments of Ottone M. Riccio, a
master teacher, "Unlocking the Poem" is a teaching tool, a stimulus
to individual creative expression, and a compendium of outstanding
contemporary poetry written from these very assignments.
Unlike many "how to write poetry" texts, Unlocking the Poem
teaches by doing. Its assignments offer writers, new and
experienced, the chance to try new things, to practice their
craft-and to produce their own original, polished poems in the
process.
"Unlocking the Poem" offers 450 proven assignments-more than any
other work available-based on poetic form, subject matter, the use
of specific words or lines, time for writing, and so forth. The
collection contains assignments to elicit autobiographical
experience, moods, and the realms of fact and fantasy. These
assignments provide stimuli to get the creative process underway,
with subjects ranging from the everyday to the surreal, from people
to the natural world, from the works of man to history to
investigating language.
"Unlocking the Poem" is organized so that related material comes
together, readily findable. Turn to a given section-villanelles,
for example, or surreal experience-or browse until something
strikes your interest. Assignments are adaptable to beginners and
to advanced writers; there's plenty in here for every poet.
"Unlocking the Poem" belongs in the library of every writing
student who wants to be a poet, and every poet who wants to write
more and better poems.
