6.5 Practices of Moderately Successful Poets


The 6.5 Practices of Moderately Successful Poets: A Self-Help Memoir

by Jeffrey Skinner

A private eye turned moderately successful poet leads readers on a satiric, hopeful tour of how to make a life in the arts, while still having a life. Sections include “The Silence of the Iambs,” “The Revisionarium,” “Dr. Frankenpoem Answers Your Questions,” and “The Periodic Table of Poetic Elements.” Revealing, hilarious, and peppered with sly takes on the ins and outs of contemporary American poetry, Skinner offers advice, candor, and wit.
