description: Beautifully and sturdily made, with a concealed spiral binding, elastic band closure, and lined pages just waiting to be filled, this special journal is a precious, private place where young writers can practice their craft and reveal their innermost thoughts. The inspiration's already there for most kids; here's where they'll learn how to set it free by exploring the structure of various poetic forms. A variety of inventive exercises will stimulate creativity and motivate them to pick up the pen, and there are hints on getting past writer's block. And, because a good poet also must read poetry, enticing samples from Shakespeare, Edna St. Vincent Millay, William Carlos Williams, William Blake, Edward Lear, Sylvia Plath, and others appear throughout.
