Description for The Rag-Picker's Guide to Poetry: Poems, Poets, Process

Num Pages: 232 pages. BIC Classification: DSC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 20. Weight in Grams: 340.
The venture of this inviting collection is to look, from the many vantages that the 35 poets in this eclectic anthology chose to look, at what it was—knowing that a poem can’t be conceived in advance of its creation—that helped their poems to emerge or connected them over time. The Rag-Picker's Guide to Poetry permits an inside view of how poets outwit internal censors and habits of thought, showing how the meticulous and the spontaneous come together in the process of discovery. Within are contained the work and thoughts of:
