Author Description

From Texture Press, the second edition of POEMS FOR THE WRITING: PROMPTS FOR POETS offers 18 classroom and workshop-tested prompts, including 6 new prompts and a wealth of new example poems. Student writers, working poets, and teachers of creative writing will find this new edition from Fox and Levin to be an easy-to-use and invigorating resource. Writes Jeanne Murray Walker, "POEMS FOR THE WRITING (SECOND EDITION) is fun and it's just as versatile as a utility outfielder." According to Elaine Terranova, this book is "more than anything, a reminder that we are all as poets thirsting for new ideas and kicks in the butt to get going." New prompts include "The Song-Title Prompt" and "The Superhero Poem."
