Book excerpt: Bringing Poems to Life: 16 Keys to Make Your Poems Sing is a systematic approach to writing and appreciating poetry. Author Armand Brint has organized his formal training and his fifty years of writing poems into a concise handbook intended to enhance craft, increase a poem's impact and encourage poets at all levels of experience. The book is divided into 16 Keys designed to build on one another. The author also provides writing exercises and example poems pertaining to each Key. As poet Connie Post points out, "Brint shows writers how to find ways to make strong poems by stitching together each critical element with precision."
