We recently watched and participated in a writing workshop via Read Aloud Revival featuring Irene Latham. She instructed the attendees how to write a nonet poem. After my boys wrote their nonet, they shared it with her via Google Docs, and she commented on their poems and the specific lines. I will publish a review of her book with nonets soon.
This book of poems contains "nestlings", poems derived from another poem. The author may only use words from the source poem to create new poems. I had never heard of this type of poetry. Reading all one-hundred-sixty poems she created, I was amazed at the variety of poems created!
In the back, Ms. Latham explains how to create nestlings.
