‘Writing Reader-Friendly Poems' by Susan Ioannou is now available at www.eBookGuides4Life.com

Dec. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- ‘Writing Reader-Friendly Poems plus Writing Exercises’ by Susan Ioannou is a compact 72 page guide that shares how to master the art of “reader-friendly poetry”-- writing that reaches beyond confession, shrugs off literary fashion, and bypasses the esoteric and avant-garde, to put the reader first. With more than 50 rules of thumb, writers learn to select, expand, rearrange, and edit raw inspiration into poems that are clear and engaging, that touch emotions, mind, and senses. Numerous writing exercises provide lots of practice in these techniques. The eBook also includes pointers on finding inspiration, as well as on submitting work for publication. The advice has been honed through Susan Ioannou’s many years as a widely published Canadian poet, creative writing teacher, and literary editor.

Susan Ioannou’s fiction, articles, and poetry have appeared across Canada, among other prizes winning the 1997 Okanagan Short Story Award and twice being a finalist in the CBC Literary Awards. An experienced teacher, she has run writing workshops for the Toronto Board of Education, Ryerson University Literary Society, and the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies. Her other books include the poetry collections Clarity Between Clouds (Goose Lane Editions), Where the Light Waits (Ekstasis Editions), Coming Home: An Old Love Story (Leaf Press), and Looking Through Stone: Poems about the Earth (Your Scrivener Press), the young people’s novels A Real Farm Girl (Hodgepog Books/Wordwrights Canada) and The Hidden Valley Mystery (Wordwrights Canada), and the highly regarded writer’s handbook A Magical Clockwork: The Art of Writing the Poem (Wordwrights Canada). She is a member of the League of Canadian Poets, The Writers' Union of Canada, and past Associate Editor of Cross-Canada Writers' Quarterly/Magazine.
