Ninth Tip For Writing Poetry!

Any question? Feel free to ask, I'm open to any question.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TIP:

Tip #9 Read the work of a variety of poets.

The simplest way to improve your poetry is to read poems. You may be familiar with great poets like William Wordsworth, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson but less familiar with contemporary poets and new poems. 

Part of becoming a better poet is constantly finding new poetry collections and reading contemporary literary magazines to expose yourself to new voices. There’s no harm in revisiting your favorite poems by great poets in an old poetry book, but part of becoming a better writer is finding new literary journals and expanding your poetry reading to include young poets and diverse voices.

I hope this helps. The last one will be out tomorrow!
