Novice and experienced writers looking to try a creative new endeavor or explore a budding interest will not be disappointed. This is a gem of a book!' Includes appendix of additional suggested reading material and another of suggested word groups. 'I want to put a book in your hands that will help you find the poet inside you. ... And I absolutely want it to be a book that will be useful to your soul's journey and awakening, for writing poems and the soul's awakening are made to go hand in hand.' -Sandford Lyne, author of Writing Poetry From the Inside Out
