| The Art of Memoir by Mary KarrMemoirs have been having a moment for a while now. If you want to write your own and would like an irreverent guide, this funny yet full-bodied bestseller is a good place to start. Mary Karr, a university professor and the author of three acclaimed memoirs (The Liar's Club, Cherry, and Lit), uses examples from her own books (along with others by favorite authors), shares literary anecdotes, and discusses her writing process while identifying the elements of a successful memoir. |

| A Poetry Handbook by Mary OliverA lot of us feel about poetry the way we feel about art; we know what we like. If you want to pen some verses that you like or even just want to understand poetry better, Mary Oliver's quintessential book, first published over 20 years ago, offers advice on both. Though this isn't a thick book, she covers a lot of ground here, addressing imitation, meter and rhyme, sound, poem forms, free verse, diction, imagery, revision, the importance of reading poetry, and workshops. Booklist says, "she so deeply knows her craft that she can describe it with perfect simplicity and concision." |
