Product Description
If you've ever wanted to communicate through poetry, or if you want to improve your poetry to a level where it could be published, this fully revised and updated edition will help you find your voice. It is an invaluable guide designed to help tap your creative potential. Covering all aspects of poetry writing, from imagery and cliche to different styles of writing, it is a 'must' for all would-be and budding poets. Written by two successful and previously published poets, "Teach Yourself Writing Poetry" demystifies the craft. It also gives practical advice, such as when and where to write, how to criticise your own material, and how to present your work for publication. Creative exercises feature throughout the book to help the reader improve technique. Suggestions for further reading (via the internet as well as books) allow the reader to continue their interest and build on the skills developed.

How to Write Poetry, April 7 2009
By Paul Taylor "Scribbler" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teach Yourself Writing Poetry (Paperback)
I picked this book up from the library on a lark and started to read it through. I found the approach in the first few chapters very matter of fact and direct without getting involved with a lot of technicalities of writing. The process recommended observation and note taking as a fundamental, which made a lot of sense to me. I looked for the book on Amazon and purchased it. I am looking forward to using this book as a practical manual not just for poetry but for all writing.
