Personal Resources
With all of the technology available to poets today, there is a wealth of
sound available for the poetic ear. I find it much easier to write after I
have immersed myself in the language of poetry. Here are some of my
favorites:
The written word is still a personal favorite of mine, one that can
travel anywhere, be underlined and discussed with an innocent
bystander.
sound available for the poetic ear. I find it much easier to write after I
have immersed myself in the language of poetry. Here are some of my
favorites:
- Russell Simmons presents Def Poetry - even if you don't have
cable, the first 3 seasons are out on DVD. - Bill Moyers, The Language of Life - This PBS series is
available in book form, VHS, or audiobook (my favorite). - Poetry readings - that's right, somewhere near you poetry
readings are happening. If not, it is a good time to start one.
- Poetry Speaks, narrated by Charles Osgood - this is a good
source of some of the standard works in the poet's voice. The
book contains text of the readings to accompany those who
are studying.
- The Caedmon Poetry Collection - A Century of Poets Reading
Their Work.
The written word is still a personal favorite of mine, one that can
travel anywhere, be underlined and discussed with an innocent
bystander.
- Fooling With Words, by Bill Moyer - his continuing look at
poetry. - Walking on Alligators, by Susan Shaughnessy - a book of
meditations for writers. - Writing Down the Bones and Wild Mind, both by Natalie
Goldberg - I learned the art of free-writing, of letting
everything loose and sorting it all out later. - Bird by Bird, by Anne Lamott - the main gift I received here
was to laugh at myself in the midst of growing as a writer. Oh
yes, I call myself a writer even though I write poetry. - Writing for Your Life, by Deena Metzger - There are some
amazing writing exercises in this book. "Tell your life story
through your relationship to the four elements." I did that
exercise and never saw my life the same way again. - A Walk Between Heaven and Earth, by Burghild Nina Holzer -
I learn quite a bit by watching others. This book is written as
a personal journal and a sharing of ideas.
