John Fox offers a fresh approach to poetry writing, yet one that doesn't overlook the importance of formal techniques. Readers will be reintroduced to their poetic voice and its unique ability to heal psychological wounds which may have held it captive. Through inventive exercises, stories, and dozens of poems, Fox shows how to master imagery, sound, metaphor, rhythm, and other poetic elements for poems that explore the unique perceptions, feelings, and visions that make us who we truly are.
