The Poet's Companion by Kim Addonizio

The Poet's Companion by Kim Addonizio

From the nuts and bolts of craft to the sources of inspiration, this book is for anyone who wants to write poetry-and do it well.

"This feels like the book we've been waiting for: rigorous, generous, in love with the art of poetry, aware of the inner architecture of poems—and maybe it couldn't have been written by anyone but Kim Addonizio and Dorianne Laux, two passionate poets" -- Marie Howe
"An intelligent, lucid conversation—between the authors and between them and us. I have been with them all—there is no better companion!" -- Gerald Stern
"Thoughtful, generous, and accurate to both deeper truths and the craftwork it takes to hold them…a superb guide for the working poet." -- Jane Hirshfield
