BOOKS ON THE ART AND CRAFT OF WRITING POETRY
These are all simply terrific titles . . . by turns inspiring, illuminating, thought-provoking, and sometimes just plain downright useful. While some of these titles are hot-off-the-press brand new, others are "old chestnuts." (The transalation of Lu Chi's Wen Fu, for example, or The Art of Writing translated from various Chinese Masters, are works that date from as far back as 200 A.D., yet I think that if you are not familiar with these works, you will be just completely amazed at how how utterly fresh, inspiring and insightful they still remain to this day!) I truly believe that all of these books are, in one way or another, indispensable to the aspiring and/or experienced writer, as well as to the creative writing teacher. You can purchase any of these titles right here, if you like! Simply click on the links below to preview and/or buy any of these books from Amazon.com.
