Writing tips for poets, playwrights and writers in general

Playwrights, take a look at author, poet and playwright Peter John Cooper - Playwright's blogspot: http://spyway.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/the-playwrights-craft-collaboration.html

and Mary Lou Delaplanque (right) who played the Mother.
According to Mike Nixon, Secretary of the Thomas Hardy Society: "This play is an exciting take on Hardy’s women: the playwright has very cleverly interwoven the real and fictional women of Hardy’s life and work."

The following post by Writer’s Relief Staff gives five unexpected poetry forms to inspire your muse and make your poetry stand out:
