A Writing Kind of Day

by Ralph Fletcher

A Writing Kind of Day Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This is the beginning of a poem about making a snow angel, but it might also refer to the mysterious way that a person comes into being and takes on a life of its own. In his new collection, Ralph Fletcher shows how you can write a poem about almost anything: a baby sister, a Venus's-flytrap, a failing grandmother, a squished squirrel, romantic disasters, grammar homework, and more. These poems take us inside the creative process as they reveal both the playfulness and the power of poetry. More than anything, "A Writing Kind of Day is a generous invitation to pick up pen and paper, to write some poems of your own.

This book is an excellent resource for teaching students to creatively write poems in a Writer's Notebook. It models various types of poems, incorporates mechanics, and shows students that poems can be written about any subject they choose.
