In the pages of \u003cem\u003eThe Poetry Home Repair Manual\u003c\/em\u003e, Kooser brings those decades of experience to bear. Here are tools and insights, the instructions (and warnings against instructions) that poets--aspiring or practicing--can use to hone their craft, perhaps into art. Using examples from his own rich literary oeuvre and from the work of a number of successful contemporary poets, the author schools us in the critical relationship between poet and reader, which is fundamental to what Kooser believes is poetry's ultimate purpose: to reach other people and touch their hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47421113860245,"sku":"400000012919","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/9936\/0661\/files\/poetry-home-repair-manual__74556.1754949288.386.513.png?v=1780962339","url":"https:\/\/postscript.press\/products\/the-poetry-home-repair-manual","provider":"Postscript","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
