Using such poems as Theodore Roethke's \"My Papa's Waltz\" and Robert Hayden's \"Those Winter Sundays,\" the \u003cem\u003ePrimer\u003c\/em\u003e encourages young writers to approach their \"thresholds\"--those places where disorder meets order, where shaping imagination can turn language into urgent and persuasive poems. It provides the poet with more than a dozen focused writing exercises and explains essential topics such as the personal and cultural threshold; the four forces that animate poetic language (naming, singing, saying, imagining); tactics of revision; ecstasy and engagement as motives for poetry; and how to locate and learn from our personal poetic forebears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 13, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47327008030969,"sku":"9780393253924","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/VzJOY2twUVhLMG1PeUdvRGtpa0c5UT09.webp?v=1769573656","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/primer-for-poets-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
