Spout Hill Press is proud to announce that the first volume in our new series of writing handbooks, CHARCOAL BOOKS, is now available.
Often poets feel stifled by the structure of formal poetry, but in his book THE GIFT OF FORM John Brantingham discusses how the tools of the form can help writers create work they never would have expected when they approach formal poetry from a completely new direction. These forms can give us ideas that we never knew we could have. They allow for new insights not possible with free verse alone. These ideas and insights are the gift that form gives us.
THE GIFT OF FORM is available for purchase online
