Poetic Emergencies

POETIC PROMPTS TO…
— spark your creative voice.
— elevate your language.
— inspire you to write more.

This book is for anyone who scribbles on napkins or receipts and is looking for a spark of something poetic to help capture some fleeting moment of emotion that could flutter away in a fraction of a second. Full of thoughtful idea starters from the journals of author Laura B. Ginsberg, an editor and writing instructor, this book will help you experiment with language and ideas and fill up that stash of gorgeously blank notebooks waiting for your stories.

Flip through the pages and find a phrase or question that snaps together that vague idea in your mind into something with lush potential. Fill the open spaces with your own scribblings and scraps of glittering essence that might just become your next work of art. Carry around that feeling of creative inspiration for those moments when that song, poem, or novel you’re working on needs a glimmer of something a little extra.
