Teaching Writing Through Poetry: Understanding Poetic Form and Its Power to Unleash Creative Expression (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781475874778)

Jason Schneiderman has taught creative writing and lectured on poetry for over twenty years. He is the author of five books of poetry as well as the forthcoming essay collection Nothingism: Poetry at the End of Print Culture. For many years, he wrote a column for Teachers and Writers on teaching poetic form. He is Professor of English at the City University of New Yorks's Borough of Manhattan Community College and teaches in the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. Adept at working with novices and experts, Schneiderman's approach creates shared knowledge and community within any classroom.

Jason's love of teaching has brought him into many settings outside of the university. He has taught in elementary schools, summer camps, and community based programs. He has been a visiting writer at high schools and colleges across the country, and has worked with both college and high school faculty on successfully integrating writing in their pedagogy. As guest host of The Slowdown, and longtime cohost of Painted Bride Quarterly, his voice has brought both poetry and his understanding of poetry to thousands of listeners.

He has received fellowships and awards from Yaddo, The Fine Arts Work Center, The Fulbright Foundation, and the Poetry Society of America.
