Designed to teach the craft of writing poetry, this volume discusses the different types of poems, detailing the steps in writing each type, and includes examples of poems by such masters as Milton, Poe, Shakespeare, Rossetti, and Eliot.

The Art & Craft of Poetry is a unique and comprehensive book about the making of a poet - you.

Author Michael Bugeja will show you how to develop yourself and your poetic works by teaching you the key elements of publishable verse:

• developing your observational skills
• turning life experiences into ideas for poems
• acquiring fluency in a variety of poetic forms

You'll also be inspired by dozens of poems from more than 100 of the world's most talented historical and contemporary writers. And exercises throughout the book guide you through writing your own drafts and help you generate individual poems, chapbooks and books.

With a new foreword by T.R. Hummer, editor of The Georgia Review, this is a one-of-a-kind guide, offering instruction that will improve your poems and deepen your enjoyment of the creative process.
