Few books make my, "Do not give away list." The highest rating I can give. Moyer's "Fooling with Words", make the cut as a poets guide to writing and living.
The book which involves a series of interviews with 11 poets at the Dodge Poetry festival would make a great gift or even a textbook in an Intro to Poetry class.
Each chapter, one for each poet overflows with advice and learning from some of the top masters of 20th Century American poets.
Based on who spoke at the festival some voices feel underrepresented. The age of the poets, many who lived lives three times over, also means fresh voices of Spoken Word and Hip Hop did not make the stage. Cervantes, Lamkin, Garrison, Geok-Lin Lim create space for critical voices but the book still feels quite white.
Still lessons on writing poetry leap from every page as the poets help me find meaning in the mundane.
I highly recommend this book. Instead of summarizing each chapter I took snippets of thoughts and synthesized found poems.

A silence in presence
a divinity in devotion

Poetry an
Argument with
self
a stitch in a
flood, a gap in a
place of puzzlement
bewildered, sorrow
overspilled
I don't know
what I
ponder until
I sit down
in quiet moments
stolen from the day

Strange
where do lines come
from?
Pull back from where
you are, lost in
mire
describe the
world
and
lift yourself out.
Turn the experience into art.
Make a Poem a Poem
by giving that experience
extra layers which
work on the page
and invite others in

Poetry an
Argument with
self
a stitch in a
flood, a gap in a
place of puzzlement
bewildered, sorrow
overspilled
I don't know
what I
ponder until
I sit down
in quiet moments
stolen from the day

Strange
where do lines come
from?
Pull back from where
you are, lost in
mire
describe the
world
and
lift yourself out.
Turn the experience into art.
Make a Poem a Poem
by giving that experience
extra layers which
work on the page
and invite others in

wisdom
born from
authority,
not cleaved
from
knowledge
spills over
with Truth
dousing away
candor in an
eddy of riposte
bubbling, fermenting
swirling in
righteousness
only found
by gouging out
the Owl's
third eye
