How to be a Poet, Paperback / softback Book

How to be a Poet Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

How to be a Poet is the brainchild of poet Jo Bell and editor Jane Commane.

As a natural follow-on to the 52 Project of 2014, this book aims to help poets taking the next step in developing, working and participating in the wider creative community as a writer. How to be a Poet combines practical advice and topical mini-essays that examine both the technical and creative dimensions of being a poet.

It’s a no-nonsense manual where we’ve replaced the spanners with lots of ink, elbow grease and edits.

At each step, we ask plenty of questions: what makes a poem tick over perfectly, how do we get it started when it stalls, and which warning lights should you never ignore?
