CBEST® Math Exercises, Tutorials and Multiple Choice Strategies

This compact guide shares how to master the art of “reader-friendly poetry”-- writing that reaches beyond confession, shrugs off literary fashion, and bypasses the esoteric and avant-garde, to put the reader first. With more than 50 rules of thumb, writers learn to select, expand, rearrange, and edit raw inspiration into poems that are clear and engaging, that touch emotions, mind, and senses. Numerous writing exercises provide lots of practice in these techniques. The book also includes pointers on finding inspiration, as well as on submitting work for publication. The advice has been honed through Susan Ioannou’s many years as a widely published Canadian poet, creative writing teacher, and literary editor.
