About this listen

The Crafty Poet was named a Best Book for Writers by Poets & Writers.

"In this resource for poets, Lockward offers practical advice and insights about establishing sound, voice, and syntax in poetry while also providing writing prompts and other poems as inspiration."

A poetry tutorial to inform and inspire poets. Includes model poems and prompts, writing tips, and interviews contributed by 56 of our nation's finest poets, including 13 former and current state Poets Laureate. An additional 45 accomplished poets contributed sample poems inspired by the prompts in this book. Ideal for use in the classroom, this book has been adopted by colleges and universities across the country. It is equally ideal for individual use at home or for group use in workshops. Geared for the experienced poet as well as those just getting started. Guaranteed to break through any writer's block.

I felt excited as I listened to this wonderful unravelling of poems and insight into how you can build your own. Actionable lessons to help you put together your own poetry collection. I would have liked each discussed poem to be read again after the explanation (like Padraig does in the ‘Poetry unbound’ podcast). I will buy the physical copy so that I can work through gradually with the poems in front of me. For the audio version, I would have appreciated a downloadable workbook containing the poems, for printing and easy reference.
