Overview
How do you assess such a personal art as poetry? Basing his discussion on the best poems he has collected from his students over the years (included in this book), Collom provides a poet's view on what makes them exceptional. This cheerful and direct approach offers numerous exercises and specific examples of what works, throughout the text, with a summary of his philosophy and methodology at the end.Synopsis
For the first time, a teaching poet has written an in-depth guide to evaluating the poetry students write. Drawing on his years of experience in the classroom and more than 300 of the best poems his students have written, Collom provides a poet's view of what makes them good. Teachers of writing who use this book will find the assessment of creative writing not only easier, but also much richer and more rewarding.
