Can reading and reciting light verse help you to lose weight? 
YES!...but only if you recite this collection of 100% fat-free, humorous poems while walking on your treadmill or whisper them under your breath as you swim laps at the local pool. WEARING THIN: Rhymes from the Diet Jungle is like no other diet book. In it you'll find no recipes. Instead you'll find engaging poems about dieting that tickle the funny bone even as the stomach gurgles. 
Psychologist/poet Irwin Flescher believes that playful rhymes can murmur and chuckle in the mind's ear, triggering a heightened awareness that leads to self-examination and self-control. Poems like prayers can inspire, persuade and heal in subtle ways that can stick with us for years. Keep WEARING THIN at the dinner table and savor a line or two instead of that strawberry shortcake or give it to that friend who just started the big diet and encourage this person to laugh his/her way through temptation.

The history, the rules, organizing, performing, scoring: all these are the elements of a fascinating phenomenon known as "Slam Poetry." Designed and concocted more than 20 years ago in Chicago and what has come to be a "new American artform," slam poetry and poetry slams are lushly written about by veteran poet, Geof Hewitt. Vermont's 2004 state champion, Hewitt is a master of the game but reminds us that "the point is not the points, the point is the poetry."

"In his provocative and enlightening discussion, Thomas Newkirk helps us to see how thesis-control essays can smother the very thinking that the act of writing should feed. This is not neat and tidy book of strategies, but an impassioned plea to adandon our misguided reverence for formula and mind-controlling structure." ~Vicki Spandel, Author, Creating Writers and The 9 Rights of Every Writer
