false 3878581 1 <B>This all-new book, by the co-author of <I>The Poet's Companion</I>, invites you to discover and enjoy your poetic self.</B><BR><BR>Inspired by the gratifying success of <I>The Poet's Companion</I>, Kim Addonizio presents exciting new insights into the creative process, craft, and the lessons of her own creative journey. Poetry's time-honored subjects&#151;love, loss, identity, community&#151;are here, along with a heady variety of writing exercises (and innovative ways to use the Internet). Chapters on gender, race, and class challenge readers to explore their creative vision more deeply, Addonizio, hailed for her passionate, award-winning poetry, shares her breakthroughs and frustrations frankly, including samples of rejection slips. She offers not only encouragement but also a wealth of knowledge about form and structure, metaphor and rhythm, revision, and that elusive goal: publishing.<BR><BR>"Poetry is not a means to an end," Addonizio maintains, "but a continuing engagement with being alive." Her generous guide is for beginners and experienced poets, for groups and in the classroom&#151;indeed for anyone eager to glimpse the angel of poetry. 3923826 16 2 2009 Ordinary Genius: A Guide for the Poet Within total:43|5:23|4:14|3:5|2:1|1:0| 43 188 96 10 3878581 0393334163 9780393334166 43 10 4.37 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3878581.Ordinary_Genius_A_Guide_for_the_Poet_Within 5 0 false Sat Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 16:22:46 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 16:24:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3878581 0393334163 9780393334166 43 10 4.37 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3878581.Ordinary_Genius_A_Guide_for_the_Poet_Within 5 0 false Wed Nov 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 17:58:36 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 19:02:21 -0800 2009 2
