About the Book

Poetry (is not) for Nerds is not for nerds. It is for readers and writers who are interested enough in poetry to sit for a while with an easy-to-read book on concepts of poetry, its language and its forms. The author, a widely published poet, asks the readers to do some soul-searching about poetry and presents a few exercises based on concepts covered in the text. Several of the authors poems are published here for the first time.
