About the author
Contributor Notes
The poetry, fiction, and literary nonfiction of Toronto writer Susan Ioannou have been widely published in literary journals and books across Canada. For many years, she led a variety of writing workshops, served as Associate Editor of Cross-Canada Writers’ Magazine, and for Wordwrights Canada created the online course Lessons in Writing the Poem.
Editorial Reviews
"Even experienced writers will benefit from Ioannou's concrete suggestions, but her conversational style and good use of illustrative examples make this a work particularly well suited to the novice poet.... Aspiring poets will find this compendium of advice a useful aid to personal blue-pencilling. Public and school libraries with heavily used creative writing collections may want to consider this volume for purchase.” - CM: Canadian Materials for Schools and Libraries
