Here are tools and insights, the instructions (and warnings against instructions) that poets—aspiring or practicing—can use to hone their craft, perhaps into art. Using examples from his own rich literary oeuvre and from the work of a number of successful contemporary poets, the author schools us in the critical relationship between poet and reader, which is fundamental to what Kooser believes is poetry’s ultimate purpose: to reach other people and touch their hearts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Writing\/Books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":42636946211040,"sku":"Books:9780803259782u","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/5911\/6768\/files\/81xvj5ql5bL._SL1500.jpg?v=1770090151","url":"https:\/\/theswordandshovel.com\/products\/poetry-home-repair-manual","provider":"Sword \u0026 Shovel (403)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
