Writing by Heart

Meredith Heller, a poet and writing teacher, shares techniques and inspiration for people of all ages to heal, explore, and express through writing. Having found solace in poetry during her own turbulent youth, she offers "Writing by Heart" as a guide to self-discovery and healing through expressive writing. Tailored for women yet inclusive for everyone, regardless of writing experience, the book embraces all forms of writing as tools for self-expression. Heller demystifies poetry's elements, from tense to metaphors, encouraging readers to discover their distinct writer's voice through exercises in prose, lyrics, or poetry.
