FREE downloads of The Zen of Poetry resource book until 11:59 PM on Tuesday, June 9th!

“Reading any excerpt from Cynthia Sharp’s The Zen of Poetry for Beginner to Intermediate Writers is like stepping into another world—a magical world. Her revelation that she believes ‘everyone who wishes to can write poetry, that in finding and expressing our inner voice, we unlock our essence,’ perfectly describes the experience I had with her book. I’d been having a dry spell with my writing. After I bought and read through the first few pages, which includes Sharp’s experience working through these writing activities, I felt a flood of motivation, and I couldn’t wait to read more. Her tips for sensory writing rekindled my excitement for the craft, and her book landed on my favorites list. This is a book you can turn to again and again any time you need writing guidance or inspiration. If you love writing poetry or need some motivation, do yourself a favor and buy this book!” Linda G. Hatton, Author of Gone Missing: Someday We’ll Meet Again and Still Life of Loved & Lost
