In the Palm of Your Hand, Second Edition: A Poet's Portable Workshop
Description
Ideal for teachers who have been searching for a way to inspire students with a love for writing--and reading--contemporary poetry.
It is a book about shaping your memories and passions, your pleasures, obsessions, dreams, secrets, and sorrows into the poems you have always wanted to write. If you long to create poetry that is magical and moving, this is the book you've been looking for.
Here are chapters on the language and music of poetry, the art of revision, traditional and experimental techniques, and how to get your poetry started, perfected, and published. Not the least of the book's pleasures are model poems by many of the best contemporary poets, illuminating craft discussions, and the author's detailed suggestions for writing dozens of poems about your deepest and most passionate concerns.

This book will excite your imagination.
It will help you unlock your heart and transform what's inside into memorable poetry.
My absolute favorite book for teaching poetry--wonderful exercises, great writing prompts, and a generous selection of relevant contemporary poems--all held together by Kowit's conversational tone that speaks to us like a good friend inviting us into the wonders of poetry.--Riochard Blanco
