In a simple way I want to tell you some thoughts that I have about writing poetry and songs, and share with you some warm-up exercises for writing that can be used to limber up the mind the same way that dancers limber before a performance. Writing has always been for me a necessary experience— something that I feel compelled to do. If that feeling of wanting to write is inside of you—what I call the Necessary Angel wanting to speak—that writing can be a part of your life experience the way it is part of mine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176485306608,"sku":"9781683365334","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781683365334_p0.jpg?v=1763700622","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781683365334","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
