Anna Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Recently, I was researching for good resources that would teach poetry writing skills similar to a workshop-in-a-book fashion. I wanted to use them for myself as well as for my kids. (My oldest is freshman in college & youngest is 11th gr. while dual-enrolled in CC.) I believe that I stumbled on a couple of real "gems". While searching at amazon I found three books and ordered them at B&N so I could view them before purchasing. Two of the three were exactly what I wanted so I bought them. Info on those 2 books: In the Palm of Your Hand: The Poet's Portable Workshop By Steve Kowit ISBN: 0-88448-149-2 The Practice of Poetry: Writing Exercises From Poets Who Teach Edited by Robin Behn & Chase Twichell ISBN: 0-06-273024-X I hope someone finds these books as useful as do.

Anna Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 I went back to this post I made about these wonderful poetry resources and tried to edit my post. No can do! Am I missing something? And how come my posts don't show up in bold print like others? Yeah, yeah, I know I'm the board fairy and all that stuff and should know how to solve this problem but I never learned computer literacy in "fairy school":rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 *Poetry* by Jill Baumgaertner. She has a FABULOUS explanation and breakdown for how, specifically, to analyze poetry and then take your analysis and write a paper. It is clear, specific, and simple while still showing how to get a college-level product. The book also includes a well-chosen anthology. It's pricey but well worth it.
