Count Four
“From the visceral recollections of a youth spent buying stolen Easter suits with his father and running from the law, to the haunting and honest self-reflection in poems describing the author’s attempts to ‘make it’ as a touring musician, Count Four is a powerful interrogation of a life spent on society’s fringes.” - Richard Matthews, UTP Series Editor
Asking a Shadow to Dance:
An Introduction to the practice of Poetry
A digital textbook tailor made for online writing programs, which provides students with engaging materials, inspiring/ challenging writing prompts, and clear relatable instruction on key concepts. While many introductory poetry textbooks rehash different versions of the same instructions, this textbook provides students with a variety of material for different learning styles. It is part workbook, part craft manual, and part critical/theoretical reader. Not only does it provide everyday context for key poetic concepts, but it also provides readers with the opportunity to engage with these concepts through unique exercises that are chapter and concept specific.
