Poetry Journal

Beautifully and sturdily made, with a concealed spiral binding, elastic band closure, and lined pages just waiting to be filled, this special journal is a precious, private place where young writers can practice their craft and reveal their innermost thoughts. The inspiration's already there for most kids; here's where they'll learn how to set it free by exploring the structure of various poetic forms. A variety of inventive exercises will stimulate creativity and motivate them to pick up the pen, and there are hints on getting past writer's block. And, because a good poet also must read poetry, enticing samples from Shakespeare, Edna St. Vincent Millay, William Carlos Williams, William Blake, Edward Lear, Sylvia Plath, and others appear throughout.Olmstead, Kathleen is the author of 'Poetry Journal', published 2005 under ISBN 9781402725272 and ISBN 1402725272.
