A poet's craft : a comprehensive guide to making and sharing your poetry / by Finch, Annie,1956-;
This book gives readers an introduction to poetic form. It combines three types of poetry writing guides: textbooks for academic use, general guides to writing poetry, and guides to writing in form. Like textbooks, it includes poetry writing exercises and discussion of classic and contemporary poems as examples, and is logically organized to provide a complete overview of the elements of poetry writing, from diction to trope to free verse. Like general poetry guides, it has a tone lively and mature enough for the nonundergraduate, and includes sections on journaling and inspiration, revision, publishing, and even how to assemble a poetry book. Like form guides, it provides an introduction to meter and to writing formal poetry.Invoking poems: inspirations and materials. Inspiration: the wood between the worlds ; Poetry as nourishment: how to read like a poet -- Thirty-nine ways to make a poem: a generative resource ; The raw material: words and their roots ; Three modes of poetry: lyric, dramatic, and narrative -- Making poems: sense and sound. Making senses: imagery and abstraction ; Turn, turn, turn: metaphors and other tropes ; What if a much of a which of a word-music? ; Syntax and rhetorical structure: words in order and disorder ; Stop making sense: exploratory poetics and poetic experiments -- Breathing poems: rhythm and meter. Hearing the beat: accent and accentual poetry ; Meter: a language for the body ; The many voices of iambic meter ; The metrical palette: beyond iambic pentameter ; Forms of free verse -- Shaping poems: structure and form. Stanzas: a poem's breathing rooms ; Worth repeating: forms based on repetition ; Chaos in fourteen lines: the sonnet ; Deep story: the ballad -- Sharing poems: publishing and performing.

Lone Ranger and Tonto fistfight in heaven / by Alexie, Sherman,author.;
Every little hurricane -- A drug called tradition -- Because my father always said he was the only Indian who saw Jimi Hendrix play "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Woodstock -- Crazy Horse dreams -- The only traffic signal on the reservation doesn't flash red anymore -- Amusements -- This is what it means to say Phoenix, Arizona -- Fun house -- All I wanted to do was dance -- The trial of Thomas Builds-the-Fire -- Distances -- Jesus Christ's half-brother is alive and well on the Spokane Indian Reservation -- A train is an order of occurrence designed to lead to some result -- A good story -- The First Annual All-Indian Horseshoe Pitch and Barbecue -- Imagining the reservation -- The approximate size of my favorite tumor -- Indian education -- The Lone Ranger and Tonto fistfight in Heaven -- Family portrait -- Somebody kept saying Powwow -- Witnesses, secret and not -- Flight -- Junior Polatkin's Wild West Show.In his darkly comic short story collection, the author brilliantly weaves memory, fantasy, and stark realism to paint a complex, grimly ironic portrait of life in and around the Spokane Indian Reservation. These twenty-four interlinked tales are narrated by characters raised on humiliation and government-issue cheese, yet filled with passion and affection, myth and dream. There is Victor, who as a nine-year-old crawled between his unconscious parents hoping that the alcohol seeping through their skins might help him sleep; Thomas Builds-the-Fire, who tells his stories long after people stop listening; and Jimmy Many Horses, dying of cancer, who writes letters on stationary that reads "From the Death Bed of Jimmy Many Horses III," even though he actually writes them on his kitchen table. Against a backdrop of alcohol, car accidents, laughter, and basketball, Alexie depicts the distances between Indians and whites, reservation Indians and urban Indians, men and women, and most poetically, between modern Indians and the traditions of the past.Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (EBL, viewed October 14, 2015).Electronic reproduction.
