How To Write Poetry · A Resource for Students and Teachers of Creative Writing

I believe that everyone who wishes to can write poetry, that in finding and expressing our inner voice, we unlock our essence. This ebook is a compilation of the finely tuned workshops and lessons that have worked best in my many years teaching. Using the methods outlined in this publication, thousands of people at all levels of English from tremendously different backgrounds have emerged into poets and storytellers before my eyes. The material can be used by individuals at home, in group settings at community centers and retreats, and in college and senior high school classrooms. It is ideal for teachers and students of creative writing, for mindfulness storytelling facilitators and participants and for anyone who wishes to write poetry.

Creating safe space for myself and others to blossom, meditate and write in is my top priority. What I offer you is the art of poetry with a spiritual touch – a guide to inspire your soul into words. We begin with meditative prompts to evoke your inner voice. As the chapters advance, classical terms and linguistics analysis are applied into concrete steps tailored to enhance the literary quality of every poet's vision. The book is intentionally concise, as it was designed by request for use on weekend workshops, however, additional tips on editing can be found in the accompanying blog where I answer any questions from readers: http://cynthiasharp.weebly.com/a-writ...
