My new book, So You Have to Write a Poem: A Poetry Guide for the Non-Poetic - Coming Oct 6th!
At some point, every student must not only learn about
different poetic forms, but try their hand at penning a few. It can be
daunting, even for those who enjoy poetry.
Following the same plain language,
straight forward vein of Ms. McLean’s Homework
Helpers: Essays and Term Papers, So You Have to Write a Poem gives
novices an easy-to-read guide with simple step-by-step processes and fun
examples while giving more advanced poets a technical guide to the rules behind
all their favorite poetic forms.
This volume includes nine forms of
poetry, along with overviews on poetry basics like meter and rhyme scheme, detailed,
easy-to-understand instructions and “cheat sheets” that outline the rules for
each form of poetry, and a section with a detailed explanation of how to
analyze a poem.
