A must have book for the writer and teacher

I have been writing and teaching writing and workshops for 12 years. Michael's book is one of those I can't get by without. Simple enough for kids and as valuable for beginners and advanced writers. I love it!

An excellent book for teaching poetry in an unusual way

Michael Carey does an excellent job of explaining what poetry really is and shows you how to get your students or yourself to push the limits of their/your creative thought. He uses the knowledge of metaphors and similies in all of his poetry writing assignments. By the time you are done, you start to see metaphors and similies all over the place. I have used this as a teacher for three years. One students said, "I never liked poetry before but now that I understand it, I love it."
