Whether readers or writers of poetry, we desire one thing: to understand it and be part of it. This is what this book is about. “The Rhythm Method” will be the most unique and thought-provoking book on poetry instruction and theory to be published in at least a decade. “The Rhythm Method” is best described as an ars poetica or collection of essays on the major influences of contemporary American poetry, discussing music and poetry as they have always coexisted. It teaches the soul essence, the place where inspiration takes over, how Art is formed. It has the practical sensibility of the writing workshop leader who must break things down into the simplest of terms so that a wide range of attitudes and talents may learn.
