Esther Spurrill Jones has been writing poetry for most of her life. She has created in this volume a guide that anyone can use to get started writing poetry. Even if you've never written a line in your life, you can use this book to start crafting poems. From rhythm to rhyme to metaphor and simile, this guide will walk you through the process from the very beginning.

I learned to read when I was four years old, and I began writing soon thereafter. My first story was about a girl and her horse?it was awful, but my parents loved it, which encouraged me to continue. My favourite genres are of the fantastical and magical, where the mundane rules of real life don't apply.
