No one needs an advanced degree in creative writing to reap the rewards of poetry. "Writing the Life Poetic" puts poetry back into the hands of the people - not because they are aspiring to become poet laureate - but because poetry is one of the great pleasures in life. "Writing the Life Poetic" helps anyone build skills and confidence in their poetic voice. While key craft issues are addressed, the approach is casual and friendly, rather than formal and academic.
