The best book for teaching/practicing writing. I have used it for years in all the classes I teach whether on writing or inner development. Great exercises and examples from "real people" in his classes show students they can do it, too. i learned a lot about teaching from this book.
Listening with you whole body and being introduces to your poetic voice is the key to this book.
The exercises in this book will enlighten each of us into embracing our self expression and the gift of our true self.

I probably would've have loved this book if I hadn't already read the author's Poetic Medicine. For a full review:

A great book for writers who feel like they've lost their voice.
An excellent exploration of the power of poetry. Filled with margin notes of quotes about poetry and the result of writing, the book is a treasure trove of information on the tools that give force to language: images, metaphor, personal meaning, regular writing. It can be read from front to back, but it can also be dipped into and enjoyed in small (or large) doses.

John Fox wrote "Forgotten Divisions" (1994) on WWI in Bonn and Manchester, (‘a publishing rarity’, Geoffrey Moorhouse), and "Macnamara’s Irish Colony" (USA, 2000) on British designs to annexe California in 1846 (‘fascinating evidence, superb cast’, Prof. Roy Foster). Besides the new "Jane Whorwood" entry in ODNB, he has written several local histories for his home community near Oxford.
