In the pages of \u003ci\u003eThe Poetry Home Repair Manual\u003c\/i\u003e, Kooser brings those decades of experience to bear. Here are tools and insights, the instructions (and warnings against instructions) that poets--aspiring or practicing--can use to hone their craft, perhaps into art. Using examples from his own rich literary oeuvre and from the work of a number of successful contemporary poets, the author schools us in the critical relationship between poet and reader, which is fundamental to what Kooser believes is poetry's ultimate purpose: to reach other people and touch their hearts. Much more than a guidebook to writing and revising poems, this manual has all the comforts and merits of a long and enlightening conversation with a wise and patient old friend--a friend who is willing to share everything he's learned about the art he's spent a lifetime learning to execute so well.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Poetry Home Repair Manual: Practical Advice for Beginning Poets | Ted Kooser | Hardcover | 9780803227699 | Used: Like New | Language \u0026 Writing 1767124 (temp: 27)","offer_id":49385095561368,"sku":"1767124","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91VuWaTUUaL.jpg?v=1783195450","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/poetry-home-repair-manual-practical-advice-for-beginning-poets","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
