Poetry is experiencing a cultural renaissance in the United States, capturing attention in ways not seen since the days of Robert Frost and Rod McKuen. With Amanda Gorman's rise to fame and Rupi Kaur drawing stadium-sized crowds, students are engaging with poetry on social media and discovering it as an accessible and expressive art form. Teaching Writing through Poetry, the2nd book in a new series on Teaching Writing meets this moment by offering a structural approach that demystifies poetic form and illustrates how poems make rhetorical demands through formal choices. Designed for both seasoned poetry lovers and hesitant beginners, the book provides clear, practical guides for reading and writing poems. It helps students move beyond the misconception that poetry is simply unshaped emotional expression and instead equips them to appreciate and create poetry with intention and craft.
