The Abiding Image by Cathy Smith Bowers gives testament to poet and editor Alfred A. Poulin’s belief that the very act of writing poetry is an affirmative one, saying no to any force that would destroy the human spirit. Part handbook, part memoir, part stand-up comedy routine, this collection of essays and lectures will provide inspiration and guidance for any writer, reader, and teacher of poetry. From those who have no idea where to begin to those in need of practical and innovative ways to reboot and revive, this book is for you.
