She explains the rules and structure that distinguish the various forms, providing many examples of her own work as well as poems from well-known historical and contemporary poets. Very importantly, however, Wakan shows by example that the \"rules\" are not to be taken as impediments, but rather as guideposts on the journey to discover and explore oneself. Looking back, Wakan realizes that her practice of poetry writing has enabled her to develop awareness, dispassionate interest, personal healing, and compassion. In her own words: \"I have come to see that in creating poetry, I am creating myself.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naomi Beth Wakan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947067281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947067288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shanti Arts LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.29d","brand":"Naomi Beth Wakan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978934321407,"sku":"9781947067288","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_811172e6-0edd-4906-a3d5-6be97bc303fc.jpg?v=1683243608","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetry-that-heals-naomi-beth-wakan-9781947067288","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
