"Writer on Fire" will help get your poems out of your dreams and onto the page. Playful and interactive, the book provides 30 instructive and inspirational poetry prompts with variations to suit writers of all temperaments. Readers will find familiar forms (haikus and sonnets, for example) as well as more obscure options (rispettos and monostichs). Some prompts are thematic, while others have fun with technology (what happens when you run a line of poetry back and forth through an online translation program?) Example poems are included, many written by members of Writers on Fire online writing community. Full-colour and heavily illustrated, Writer on Fire is a lovely book to add to any bookshelf. Available in paperback or Kindle, from Amazon.
