Product Description
by Jordie Albiston (Editor)
The Weekly Poem has been primarily designed with teachers and students of poetry in mind. It contains exercises using 52 different concepts and forms, all of which have been developed to inspire and expand poetic practice. Each exercise is accompanied by one or more poems - sourced from around the world, with a main focus on Australia - which provide guidance, depth and an invigorating sense of possibility.
The Weekly Poem represents an invaluable resource for all poets - emerging or established - and may be of benefit both in the classroom or at the private desk.
It's such a blessed relief to have some little formal problem to work out, so you don't have to think about the earthshattering importance of what you are going to say. - Howard Nemerov
Limitation makes for power... - Richard Wilbur
