Poetry
Matters
ISBN 0380797038 Harper Paperback (8 to 12) WB Price: $10.95
At the most important moments, when everyone else is silent, poetry rises to speak. This book shows young writers how to write poetry, how to reach within themselves for emotions, image, and music, and how to revise to make their words shine.Review: "The book begins by defining poems as "emotional X-rays" that seek to delve into a person's inner being. Chapters deal with images; creating "music," or sounds and rhythms; how to generate ideas for poems; the construction of the words on the page; and more. Tips on fine-tuning are also given, from experimenting with wordplay to finding a voice and narrowing the focus of a piece. Major poetic forms are defined, including haiku, ode, and free verse, and there is a section on ways to share your work. Interspersed are Fletcher's personal insights and interviews with three poets-Kristine O'Connell George, Janet S. Wong, and J. Patrick Lewis-who discuss what inspires them and how they go about creating their work." School Library Journal.19.28
