Manual de Escritura Poetica - by Carmen Ramos Perez (Paperback)

About the Book

Poetry is part of our lives. Any avid reader of Lorca, Neruda, or Miguel Hernández knows this well, but it is also intuited by those who, out of ignorance or excessive respect, believe that this is a forbidden territory for them. This book by Carmen Ramos aims to demonstrate, on the contrary, that anyone with a minimum of sensitivity and training can write poetry and thus enjoy an extremely enriching experience, capable of transforming us and making us more empathetic and fulfilled people. The author has brought together a series of practical exercises whose effectiveness and usefulness have been demonstrated in numerous workshops. Hence, the language used is simple and informal. The teaching approach contained here is far removed from academicism and literary theories, making the practice of poetry accessible to readers of all levels of education. The aim is simply to help those who are new to writing poetry, but also those who are familiar with it and need a little motivation, because, as Ramos points out, the act of writing does not flow in the same way over time, and periods of great productivity are often followed by less fruitful ones. Both novices and experienced writers will find this book a valuable and inspiring stimulus.
