Are you venturing into the world of poetry as a writer? Then you know what the first rule, right? If not, no worries. Remember the first step is to read and research. What better way to start than getting to know other writers and their work. It is the best way to get a feel for the craft and understand the different structures of poetry.
Today we will begin with a simple case of follow by example and creation from scratch. Before you go off into the wild frontier that writing poetry has to offer, take a look at the following poets and their works.
Below I added the name of the poet along with the title of the book found. A heads-up, some simply have "collected" or "selected" as the working title on the book. Such titles do occur due to compilation workings.
Carl Phillips-Double Shadow
Fredrick Seidel-Poems 1959-2009
Mary Gaitskill-Don't Cry
Philip Larkin-Collected Poems
Robert Lowell-Selected Poems
