Poetry exercises are a smart way to develop one's "toolbox" — but why would you want to pay $15,000-45,000 per year to get to those exercises? Our book offers poets at all levels a variety of poetry exercises designed to push you out of the comfort of your style. Not to mention, a brief selection of poetry terms are outlined.

With fifty-one poetry writing exercises and a brief poetry term glossary, "The Best Poetry Exercises from Grad School (No MFA Tuition Necessary)" offers on-edge writing help that pushes beyond the standard "write me a haiku" exercise. The exercises were developed from renowned writers such as Greg Glazner, Richard Hugo, Joe Wenderoth, Dana Gioia and Andy Jones.
