WRITING PROMPTS FOR POETS
Get writing with tips and prompts from published poet and author, Jane Holland
This is a practical workbook for poets, written by a poet and bestselling novelist. Jane Holland won an Eric Gregory Award for poetry in 1996, was one of 5 poets featured on the Bloodaxe New Blood UK Tour in 1997, and has since had five books of poetry published by, among others, world-class poetry publishers Bloodaxe Books and Salt Publishing, as well as innovative UK poetry houses like Nine Arches Press and Heaventree. She was founder-editor of Blade poetry magazine (1995-99) and also edited the online arts magazine Horizon Review from 2008-10. As a poet, her oeuvre includes both lyric poems, longer narrative poetry and poem sequences, as well as translations, one of which received a mention in judges' comments for the Stephen Spender Prize. She doesn't believe in writer's block. And neither should you!
Regardless of where you are in your career - just starting out, published a few, experienced poet, returning to poetry after a break - this practical workbook will get you writing fresh poetry and suggest inspirational new ways of redrafting back-burner poems that aren't quite there yet.
There are many obstacles to getting words down on the page. One is fear. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of looking stupid, fear of just about anything. Another is creative apathy. Then there's mental fatigue. Lack of inspiration. Uncertainty about your own strengths and limitations. Maybe you aren't sure what you want to write. Or you can't believe anyone will want to read what you've written. That's a common stumbling block, even for successful writers.
But with this book, help is on the way!
N.B. This is NOT a sit-back-and-be-inspired book, it is a practical workbook with space for notes to help kickstart your poem drafts.
It contains these features:
Poem Prompts, specifically for new poems
Tips and thoughts on writing and publishing
10-Minute Poem Sprint Exercises
Lined and blank pages to make your own notes, doodles and rough drafts.
Use the highly specialised poem prompts to inspire new writing. Meditate on - or reject! - the writing and publishing tips. Choose a Poem Sprint during your commute and write flat-out for 10 minutes. Start your rough drafts in this book, if you wish, on lined or blank sheets provided, and continue on screen or in a notebook. Good luck!
Part of a new series of workbooks, manuals and aides for writers at all levels, compiled by Jane Holland. Perfect bound with spiral cover effect, 6 x 9in, 124 pages.
