Description

John Brantingham’s epiphany about formal poetry created six basic premises about how and why to write it. These premises are also the premises of this book: Writing formal poetry is intellectual game play. It should be fun. Formal poetry gives poets tools to say something meaningful. No one can really fail at writing a formal poem. Writing formal poetry strengthens writers’ free verse and prose. A formal poem does not have to sound like an old poem. A poet should never have to sacrifice meaning to stay inside the form.
