"Poetry helps us understand ourselves and our world; it helps us see ourselves and our world in new ways," write the authors of this ready-to-use handbook. Kazemek and Rigg provide nine complete, detailed lessons using poetry that will help teachers and tutors of adult new readers and writers. Each lesson focuses on a different type of poetry and is written in clear, step-by-step format. Chapters deal with skills such as spelling, punctuation, and grammar; ways to incorporate computers; ways to initiate student publishing; and additional resources for teachers and tutors.

Review
"The (workshop) was abuzz with excitement as everyone realized that working on these poems was a great way to help their beginning and reluctant writers create beautiful, interesting pieces. The book is easy to use and full of interesting poems and great ideas. I found myself learning new things even about poems I know well." -- Joy Kreeft Peyton; Director, National Clearinghouse for ESL Literacy TESOL Journal
