Practical Poetic Anthology

The A to Z's of poetic styles is a teaching tool every poet should own. It is also extremely entertaining. With Pat Simpson at the helm, the project began.

Patricia Ann Farnsworth-Simpson put out the call to poets from all over the world to poets who knew how to write in particular forms to submit them to this book.

It did help that Patricia is partners with Daveda Gruber and together they own their own poetry site, Poetry with Passion.

Many of the Poets-World-Wide group began submitting poems done in specific poetic styles. This book took time and energy from many poets who worked very hard to produce poems that would entertain the reader while showing the different styles.

Not only is there a genuine glossary, but examples of how to put the tools into effect. This book could help students of poetry and should be available in libraries.

The diversity of the subject matter and the forms used to portray them has brought about a book superior to most. The poets you will find within the pages are talented and some of the best of this generation.

The writers involved are most definitely a 'who's who' in the poetry world. Daveda Gruber, Patricia Ann Farnworth, Tina R. Jussaume, Joseph Spence Sr., Erich Goller, P. F. Kosack, Helen Mcmanus, Joe Hartman, Jacquelyn Sturge, Michael L. Schuh, J. Elwood Davis and Mary Ann Duhart (winner of the best poem for 9/11 competition presented by Poetry with Passion) are just a few of the published authors within the covers of this teaching book.
