Product Description

A wonderful guide to creativity April 25, 2000

I have written (often bad) poetry as a means of expressing myself since I was 9 years old. After going through this book, I have been amazed at the depth of feeling that has been hiding in me all these years! You will be amazed at the beautiful poetry you can create given the right tools and instruction. Even if you think you're not creative and can't write a word, I hope you'll try this book...you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that you can create poetry if given the opportunity.

"Finding What You Didn't Lose: Expressing Your Truth and Creativity Through Poem-making" was my introduction to the field of poetry therapy. Although I have added many poetry therapy texts to my library since acquiring Mr. Fox's book, I still consider "Finding What You Didn't Lose" the premiere text. It is comprehensible; full of useful and thoughtful ideas; and beneficial for anyone seeking to cultivate healing in themselves or others. I am currently undergoing professional training in poetry therapy and find myself returning again and again to Mr. Fox's book. Also, when introducing people to the field of poetry therapy, I always recommend Finding What You Didn't Lose as a foundational text.

For anyone who was taught in school that poetry was dry, cryptic and boring, this is the book that will change your mind. John Fox presents poetry in a way that will make it an enjoyable part of your life, a healing part of your life, and you will discover your creative self. It leaves you wanting more. For more, see Poetic Medicine.

For anyone who loves discovering the inner creativity of oneself, this is the book for you. I have had this book for a couple of years and I find it interesting everytime I sit down and realize another poem. Every teacher should own a copy. Children would benefit from its teachings.

This book is a fabulous way to simply get writing. He has you use tangible subjects, things you've experienced, and offers wonderful samples to help. I personally liked the way the book is et up - gives you the sense that you can stop at one place and pick up later without losing your flow. A side note - if you EVER have an opportunity to take a workshop with him, I highly advise it!
