My book Composing Magic has several chapters on poetic techniques and forms. I host periodic Poetry Fishbowls to raise interest in my writing.
I'm going to host a Poetry Fishbowl on my blog on Thursday, April 17. This time the theme will be civics/politics/sociology/civilization. Drop by and give me prompts for writing poems. Advance details are here: ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com/164736.html
