STANZA-PHOBIA:
A Self-Improvement Approach
to Bridging Any Disconnect
Between You and Poetry
by Understanding Just One Poem
(Yes, One!)
and Winding Up Not Only Learning
the Process Involved but Coming to Love
at Least a Few More Poems
(and Maybe Poetry Itself)

In addition to STANZA-PHOBIA, he has published GOOD THINKING: A Self-Improvement Approach to Getting Your Mind to Go from “Huh?” to “Hmm” to “Aha!” and its sequel PLAYING DETECTIVE: A Self-Improvement Approach to Becoming a Better Thinker, Reader, and Writer By Solving Mysteries.
