The Sacred Life of Words
The Sacred Life of Words is an inspiring and comprehensive introduction to the background and practice of poetry and prose. The origins of words, structures of classical poetry and poetry games will inspire even ‘non poets’, while prose wisdom is delivered with Worthing’s inimitable storytelling style and humour. To realise that we as writers are participating in something sacred when we work with words is both sobering and exciting. The Sacred Life of Words will inspire, challenge and transform the practice of writers at any stage of their career.' - Rosanne Hawke, author of Riding the Wind: Writing for Children and Young Adults
