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. https://www.keithkopka.net/writing daily 0.75 2025-11-03 https://www.keithkopka.net/contact daily 0.75 2024-02-12 https://www.keithkopka.net/count-four daily 0.75 2022-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2d0916bb7d378800c5d37/1643406740094-1Y95A7T8ATN7BHESI31L/utlogo.png Count Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2d0916bb7d378800c5d37/1643403453970-HPDO4G4BZ9X84NNBZRWV/indiebound-logo-300x175.png Count Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2d0916bb7d378800c5d37/1643406807240-IS7Z4DA8O7AF7KC6ZMWS/9538401a2012ec56289daff4ca812ae6-amazon_.jpg Count Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2d0916bb7d378800c5d37/1643403449079-O7Q2ZGGH78K2685C128Z/barnes-and-noble-png-logo-1.png Count Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2d0916bb7d378800c5d37/fd65209d-795a-48d2-893f-0c78da355e78/KopkaCountFourCover-1-679x1024.jpg Count Four - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2d0916bb7d378800c5d37/6e18cecf-1079-4bb6-9d74-6815e90e754d/header_logo-8d96d7078a3d63f9f31d92282fd67cf4.png Count Four - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.keithkopka.net/events daily 0.75 2024-03-05 https://www.keithkopka.net/consultations daily 0.75 2024-03-11 https://www.keithkopka.net/music daily 0.75 2024-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2d0916bb7d378800c5d37/1709576904134-SB1CVHVEL6TWO81MLRBM/tenses_band_album.jpeg Music - EP 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2d0916bb7d378800c5d37/1709679522363-33XCDV31UX1S8JKH1LRP/Screen+Shot+2024-03-05+at+5.57.41+PM.png Music - far and near wars https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2d0916bb7d378800c5d37/1709678085258-QT56AAGU1QH9GTF9KJVO/a0206701631_16.jpeg Music - Retired https://www.keithkopka.net/about-copy daily 0.75 2024-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2d0916bb7d378800c5d37/1648662477742-TA1FHJOL9K5I7GF5HURX/keith_kopka.jpg About (Copy) - Keith Kopka is the recipient of the 2019 Tampa Review Prize for his debut collection of poems, Count Four (University of Tampa Press, 2020).
