For many teachers, poetry can be a difficult subject to teach. Poet Benjamin Green makes it easy with this practical and insightful book.
With clear examples, Green leads students through each of 26 exercises, helping them create thoughtful, high-quality poems. The process begins with "word gathering," a series of prompts designed to generate ideas, words, phrases, information and images. Students then "extract" a poem from this material, choosing the most interesting and descriptive words. Finally, Green guides them through the revision process. The book also includes suggested readings and samples of poems by real students.
