Thirteen Ways of Looking for a Poem
Thirteen Ways of Looking for a Poem: A Guide to Writing Poetry | Wendy Bishop
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Thirteen Ways of Looking for a Poem is grounded in the belief that the best way to learn to write poetry - and improve one's writing in general - is through practice. The book's unique approach - teaching the elements of poetry through various poetic forms - encourages students to learn from existing models and to break free from pre-established constraints. In thirteen chapters centered on the sonnet, the haiku, and other traditional and not-so-traditional forms, the author demonstrates through numerous innovative exercises the many ways in which beginning poets can enrich their writing by studying and practicing poetic form.

This book consists of poems about Black boys and young men depict thirteen views of everyday life: dressed in Sunday best, running to catch a bus, growing up to be teachers, and much more. Each of Tony Medina‘s tanka is matched with a different artist—including recent Caldecott and Coretta Scott King Award recipients.
