“At the heart of this anthology is the belief that poetry is open to everyone but also the recognition that substantial progress within it takes years of apprenticeship, of experimenting, of trying, of failing,” begins the introduction to this volume of craft essays edited by Abayomi Animashaun. With over sixty contributors, from emerging to established poets, the topics range from how to begin a poem to muses, form, workshops and community, and publishing. This collection of voices offers inspiration, practical tips and advice, and writing prompts to poets at any stage of their career. The book may also be a great addition for anyone teaching poetry.
