I have neither the time nor inclination to pursue an MFA in poetry. So, I intend to go a little more Horatio Alger and do it myself. I have over 50 books on differnt aspects of writing poetry. I will be choosing a book, and working through every exercise. I will post these exercises and my work on this blog. Hopefully, there will be some measurable results when I'm done with it all.
I will begin with one of the more generalist books. It looks good.
Writing the Life Poetic by Sage Cohen
Where there aren't exercises I'll try to provide observations and feedback to the author's points.
