POETRY SELF-TAUGHT
by
Barbara Morris Fischer
It's good to write poetry and have it published.
Getting published means showing an audience
what you've written.
But, would you think you're ready to perform in Carnegie Hall playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with one finger on the piano or organ? Well, that's what untrained poets are doing when they seek publication.
Your mental acuity is being revealed by your poetry!
You need professional guidance or you'll live out
your life never knowing what splendid creations
you were capable of.
In a matter of a few hours, you'll learn to employ the tricks and skills
of the masters that took me years to compile.
Don't be mislead by praise from well-meaning friends
(who don't know what "good" poetry really is)
or corrupt "vanity" publishers
who lead you to believe you're a "semi-finalist."
"20-20" has said enough about those publishers
for many years. They'll accept any words on even
a sliver of paper, just to fill a book quickly,
(so they can publish many books quickly to sell to
the vain and to unknowing novices).
The short-cut to success and recognition is to learn to be all you can be as a poet with the simple step-by-step lessons in "Poetry Self-Taught." When you are confident because you "know" you're good, no one can trick you.
Why waste time on guesswork and luck?
Learn quickly, and easily
How to make your writing more exciting to readers.
How to perfect everything you've already written.
How to become your own best critic, even
win awards and teach others.
There's no such thing as a poet who doesn't need to read

There are aesthetic elements in
quality poetry that make poems
stand out from the crowd.
There are methods of expression that delight the reader.
There are symbols that make your message "hit home."
The only writers who object to formal training are those
who are lazy or fear they'll fail to learn.
It's important to read lots of past and current poetry.
But without training, you won't learn much because
you won't know what you're trying to emulate or
improve upon.
Once you master these easy step-by-step lessons, these
tools will be with you forever to enhance everything you write.
As we are updating it, you cannot buy it right now. It will soon be
available on CD and in a download PDF version.
