Here are twenty classroom-tested exercises that really work, written and used by some of America's best teachers and writers of poetry. Meant for the student and teacher alike, Mapping the Line is also meant for those who have never been in a poetry writing class but have, perhaps, been writing on their own or have been wanting to. This collection is a good place to begin, and to continue.

Mapping the Line: Poets on Teaching

Writing, Research & Publishing Guides

Penyeach Press

The first full-length collection from Bruce Guernsey since the award-winning January Thaw. This collection is Homeric in every sense. With such detail to line and the music of language, you almost forget the struggle of the search and the sorrow of loss.
