I'm sure it's wonderful, Carmela. I have quite a few poetry books for teaching, and have used and lent Knock At A Star by the Kennedys often, for younger writers. My favorite for adolescents, along with all Fletcher's books, is Important Words by William Brown. I think adults could benefit & be inspired by it, too.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-32159733356818387242013-02-09T13:29:39.665-06:002013-02-09T13:29:39.665-06:00Thanks, Margaret.

His book was published near the time of his death in 2007. Speaking of fishing for words, he used this metaphor when talking to kids about fishing for poems. In his book, he provides the "bait" needed, wordgroups. The book is Writing Poetry from the Inside Out. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/629908.Writing_Poetry_from_the_Inside_Out<br /><br />I am putting Janeczko's book on my list.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Margaret Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434866104385187658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-378033002514575832013-02-08T14:16:33.536-06:002013-02-08T14:16:33.536-06:00Hi Joyce, thanks for the book suggestion.

Great book! Thanks for writing about Seeing the Blue Between It sounds like one I should check out. <br /><br />One of my favorites is A Surge of Language, Teaching Poetry Day by Day by Baron Wormser and David Capella. Their method of dictation is based on their belief that poetry is "muscular and physical." This book taught me how to help others "unpack" a poem.Joyce Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905709719444916488noreply@blogger.com
