I write and ;publish poetry regularly. I have a third book coming out in February from Wapshott Press called Three Soul-Makers: Poems to Bring Us together. I love studying the decisions poet’s make in their pieces, the economy of words, the many line break choices. I wish you could get this article out to EVERYONE in the universe. So many people are intimidated by poetry or have only their tortured high school English assignments to refer back to. I’ve even tried to rename poetry just to take this stigma away. I have an MFA in Creative Writing but never took any poetry classes, so I’m self-taught. I subscribe to Poets.org and Rattle Poetry. It’s a wonderful art form. I’m also a singer, so I usually can tell melodically how many words a line or a stanza needs to feel complete. I’m gonna share this with my writing friends. Happy, safe Holidays…Mary Kennedy Eastham

I’ve studied poetry intensively and have never seen such a well put together overview.
