How Poetry Can Change Your Heart

A simple guide to the transformative power of reading and writing poems, from two acclaimed spoken-word artists. How can a poem transform a life? Could poetry change the world? In this accessible volume, spoken-word stars Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley roll out the welcome mat and prove that poetry is for everyone. Whether lapsed poetry lovers, aspiring poets, or total novices, readers will learn to uncover verse in unexpected places, find their way through a poem when they don't quite “get it”—and discover just how transformative poetry can be. Acclaim for the authors “Propelled by all that is raw, heartfelt, and confessional . . . A tour de force.” —Publishers Weekly on Andrea Gibson’s Lord of the Butterflies “The [metaphorical] daughter of Sexton and Ginsberg.” ―Muzzle Magazine’s “30 Poets Under 30” on Megan Falley
