The Roar on the Other Side is an aspiring student poet guide. Suzanne Rhodes, a longtime poet, and teacher offers The Roar on the Other Side as an introductory guide to poetry for students (junior high and up). Poetry fosters and nurtures life by finding wonder in the nooks and crannies of ordinary life. Focusing on the importance of sight and the necessity of practice, Rhodes easily communicates the joy of words to her readers and helps them see how good poetry binds seemingly contradictory things together. This poetry guide has a wide variety of resources to help young poets learn all aspects of writing poetry. From understanding how to read poetry and interpret a poem to learning how to write one, this book covers the grammar of poetry, text structures from poetry, and even how to write a form poem. With easy-to-understand tutorials, engaging exercises, and inspiring examples, this literary work will provide readers with the tools they need to become skillful wordsmiths. The Roar on the Other Side Guide for Student Poets includes helpful instructions on poetic forms such as haiku, limericks, blank verse, and free verse. It provides simple explanations of literary devices or tools that are used in many poems. In addition, readers will learn tips for writing their own original works of art by exploring topics like imagery and symbolism. Each exercise in this book is geared toward helping students gain more confidence in their ability to compose poetry. With its step-by-step approach and informative content, The Roar on the Other Side is an essential resource for anyone looking to explore the world of literature through poetry. For all its storied past and lofty reputation, poetry is really just the art of noticing, naming, and comparing the stuff of this world. Unlike the eye of modern science (which sees the world as a giant specimen for us to dissect), poetry fosters and nurtures life by finding wonder in the nooks and crannies of ordinary life. Suzanne Rhodes, a longtime poet and teacher, offers The Roar on the Other Side as an introductory guide for students (junior high and up). Clear and imaginative, this book makes poetry approachable. Focusing on the importance of sight and the necessity of practice, Rhodes easily communicates the joy of words to her readers and helps them see how good poetry binds all seemingly-contradictory things together. Students will emerge from this book with a good handle on the basics of writing poetry and a new appreciation for the awesome world in which we live.
