Praise for The Inspired Poet: Writing Exercises to Spark New Work
An engaging and generous personal writing guide, sure to inform and inspire.
— Kim Addonizio, author of Ordinary Genius: A Guide for the Poet Within
One of the most difficult aspects of the writing life is simply getting started: quieting our internal critic long enough to create a first draft. With this diverse series of craft-focused, creative-writing exercises, Susan Landgraf offers the keys to unlock the writing inside us—and the fuel to inspire the writing that sustains us.
— Jordan Hartt, author of Leap and Drifting
Susan Landgraf is indeed paying attention, and with this collection of playful, engaged, provocative exercises, she makes us pay attention as well—to cages and bodies and blankness and song, to cream of wheat, letters to our feet, and apple slices under a virgin’s arms, and mostly to the poems waiting to be born inside, outside, and all around us.
— Sam Ligon, author of Among the Dead and Dreaming, Safe in Heaven Dead, Wonderland, and Drift and Swerve
Writers, your subconscious installs writer’s block into your wetware to rescue your work from a wrong turn. Your personal “keep writing” tricks can’t crack it. Remember when writing was more fun than frustration? Try other writers’ tricks to break your block and to bring fun back to your writing. Susan Landgraf’s The Inspired Poet offers breakthrough tools from, and for, writers of all genres. Writing is serious business, but never forget: Fun is good! Use it!
— Bill Ransom, author of The Woman and the War Baby and Jaguar
