Product Description
Encouraging readers to write everything from dream journals and postcards to lists and clustered phrases, Sheila Bender gently teaches readers how to use words that show instead of tell, whilst avoiding general words that categorise.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Writing Personal Poetry, January 1, 2001
Writing Personal Poetry is a journey into self-discovery. Written by Sheila Bender, the book explores how you can create poems based on your life experiences. A successful poet herself, she begins with a look at why we write, followed by steps for empowerment. One of the most insightful chapters, "Practice With Tools For Poetry Writing" provides exercises as well as useful suggestions. Unlike many instructional writing books, Writing personal Poetry is clear and easy to read. It contains many specific examples to illustrate the author's lessons. A companionable volume, it invites highlighting and underlining for use as a reference for many years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Poetry Primer, May 18, 2000
By A Customer
I found this book very useful to help get the creative juices flowing. The exercises provided by Ms. Bender produced the inspiration needed by beginning poets (like myself).
