Poetry as Spiritual Practice: Reading, Writing, and Using Poetry in Your Daily Rituals, Aspirations, and Intentions by Robert McDowell
2.0
It was fun, in it's own way. And some of the book had good verse in it. But it wasn't what I was expecting, or hoping for.
There was a lot of it which was dedicated to teaching the very formal verse styles that aren't commonly used any more. And there wasn't as much about the spiritual nature of poetry, and one might expect from a book with such a title. I guess the worst of it was how many of the exercises didn't really have any introspection or good contemplation. . . (my own opinion, of course).
But it did get a few poems out of me. I'm grateful for that.
