Is there a book on the craft of writing that you recommend to poets?
Here's one you probably don't hear too often: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: The Last Book On Novel Writing You'll Ever Need by Jessica Brody. As poets, I think we need to spend more time looking to other art forms to improve our storytelling. If you can't answer why someone should care about what you've written then it is probably a personal poem, not yet one ready for public consumption. It’s a test so many poems fail, yet almost every single widely watched movie passes this test.
