Offers practical advice for developing a writing process centered on play and supported by an understanding of America’s literary traditions. Provides students with exercises aimed to make writing in its early stages a form of play that gives way to more enriching insights through revision, embracing the writing of poetry as both a love of language and a tool that enables us to explore ourselves and better understand the world. The volume includes resources for students seeking to publish and build a writing-centered lifestyle or career. Poets featured range in age, subject, and style, and many are connected to colleges in the State University of New York system. Promotes an understanding of poetry as a living art and provides ways for students to involve themselves in contemporary poetry.
