This book of 200 new poems is a guide to short poetic forms, including 13 traditional forms and 4 newly invented forms. Each of 17 sections describes the rules of the form, followed by 11 or more examples. The final section demonstrates the effect of each form on content, by applying each of the 17 forms to two contrasting topics. The subjects of the poems are wide ranging-family ties, politics, finances, art, music, illness, healing, plants, animals, habitat, and climate. While some of them are personal and searching, others are humorous and biting. Through all of them runs the writer's deep love of nature. This book is an invaluable resource for writers and teachers of poetry, whether beginning or advanced. It's also a beautiful exploration of human experience and our relation to all of life. The way complex ideas are contained in small, precise forms is thought-provoking and delightful.
