Description

This expanded edition adds sixteen new exercises designed to inspire creativity and help poets hone their skills.

Each exercise includes a clearly-stated learning objective, historical background matter on the particular subgenre being explored, and an example written by undergraduates at Western Kentucky University.

The text also analyzes work by leading American poets including Billy Collins, Denise Duhamel and Dean Young.

The book's five chapters correspond with the five canons of classical rhetoric: invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery.
