Drawing on his extensive experience of poetry workshops and
courses, Peter Sansom shows you not how to write but how to write
better, how to write authentically, how to say genuinely what you
genuinely mean to say. This practical guide is illustrated with
many examples. Peter Sansom covers such areas as submitting to
magazines; the small presses; analysing poems; writing techniques
and procedures; and drafting. He includes brief resumes and
discussions of literary history and literary fashions, the spirit
of the age, and the creative process itself. Above all, his book
helps you learn discrimination in your reading and writing - so
that you can decide for yourself how you want your work to develop,
whether that magazine was right in returning it or if they simply
don't know their poetic arse from their elbow. Writing Poems
includes sections on: Metre, rhyme, half-rhyme and free verse.
Fixed forms and how to use them. Workshops and writing groups.
Writing games and exercises. A detailed, annotated reading list.
Where to go from here. Glossary of technical terms. Writing Poems
has become an essential handbook for many poets and teachers:
invaluable to writers just starting out, helpful to poets who need
a nuts-and-bolts handbook, a godsend to anyone running poetry
courses and workshops, and an inspiration to all readers and
writers who want a book which re-examines the writing of poems.
