Send in the Poets - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In this work you will find pointed suggestions about letting your imagination run wild and, we hope, inspiration to take up your pen or start up your computer and begin to write and read poetry. Both are journeys of acceptance and expression. Be ready to express both your inner thoughts and your external experiences. If you have no desire to write, then perhaps this book will point you to new ways of enjoying what you read. You may use this work to open up avenues in your subconscious, avenues that may intrigue you into internalizing new thoughts about poetry and other adventures of mental stimulation. An introduction to this mental magic is found at the beginning of each chapter. Explicit goals are stated for each chapter with examples, exercises, and information on how to accomplish said goals. Poetry examples and comparatives are explained and presented in each chapter. This book contains not only examples but twenty separate exercises that build upon the previous ones. Additionally, at the conclusion of each chapter you will find short studies of the methodology of poetry. Throughout this work, the author expresses a desire to influence the reader to think. If you follow the instructions and/or exercises, you will think...there can be no escape. Read the mind-opening words and exercises that follow and be prepared to find that the mind can readily be opened by experiencing this unique and refreshing contemporary approach to poetry.
