Poetry Writing: the Expert Guide by Fiona Sampson

Poetry Writing: the Expert Guide by Fiona Sampson

Written by a prize-winning poet and the editor of Poetry Review, this book takes the reader through the entire poetry writing process, all the while promoting individual creativity and expression. Writing Poetry starts with questions about what poetry is, what it means to the poet and why people write it. It goes on to consider rhythm, rhyme and repetition and explore different poetry forms. This book is also thoroughly practical; there are exercises at the end of every chapter, it contemplates the 'ideal reader' and finishes with advice on getting poetry published. Listings of poetry publishers, magazines, resources and festivals are also included. Whether you are a complete novice or an established writer, Writing Poetry will offer something new time and again; this beautifully written guide will inform, encourage and inspire.

Fiona Sampson has published fourteen books - including poetry, philosophy of language and books on writing process - of which the most recent are Common Prayer (Carcanet, 2007), On Listening (essays, Salt, 2007) and Writing: Self and Reflexivity (with Celia Hunt, Palgrave Macmillan, 2005). Other prizes include writers' awards form the Arts Councils of England and Wales and the Society of Authors, and, in the US, the Literary Review's annual Charles Angoff Award. She has a PhD in the philosophy of language and was AHRC Fellow in the Creative and Performing Arts at Oxford Brookes University in 2002-05. She is Creative Fellow at the University of Warwick/RSC Capital Centre for 2008-09. Fiona is also the editor of Poetry Review.
