(3) 4-6 This guide begins with the "three pillars of poetry," which Fletcher states are emotion, image, and music. The twelve chapters include an exploration of those elements, ways to refine poems, tips on presenting them publicly, and interviews with poets Kristine O'Connell George, Janet S. Wong, and J. Patrick Lewis. Samples of verse throughout illustrate Fletcher's points in a concrete, understandable way. Bib.
