Lou Jenkins is the award-winning author of
Every Natural Fact: Five Seasons of Open-Air Parenting . "If you combined the lyricism of Annie Dillard, the vision of Aldo Leopold, and the gentle but tough-minded optimism of Frank McCourt, you might come close to Amy Lou Jenkins,...I, for one, would follow her anywhere."—Tom Bissell author of The Father of All Things

Carteret Writers Annual Writing Contest
 Poemcrazy
is the poetic analog to Anne Lamott's
Bird
by Bird or Natalie Goldberg's
Writing Down the Bones,
two
classic works on how to forget that you "can't write" and just start the pen
moving. Susan Wooldridge is a swimming instructor in the wide ocean of language, encouraging us to move ever farther from the shore, dive deep, and dance on the
waves. |
A Poetry Handbook This slender guide by
Mary Oliver deserves a place on
the shelves of any budding poet. In clear, accessible prose, Oliver (winner
of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for poetry) arms the
reader with an understanding of the technical aspects of poetry writing. Her
lessons on sound, line (length, meter, breaks), poetic forms, tone, imagery, and revision are illustrated by a handful of
wonderful poems.
What could have been a dry account is infused throughout with Oliver's
passion for her subject, which she describes as "a kind of possible love
affair between something like the heart (that courageous but also shy
factory of emotion) and the learned skills of the conscious mind." One comes
away from this volume feeling both empowered and daunted. Writing poetry is
good, hard work.
