A radically liberating collection of essays, ideas and approaches to writing and teaching poetryDo It Wrong is a short, snappy series of provocations and suggestions designed to help poets think outside the box and foster creativity.It’s a permission slip to take a path others reject, to do the counter-intuitive thing, to embrace the weird.It's a guidebook designed to bring poets together, to question our assumptions, and to move past the “business as usual” educational models into the new, the strange, and the “wrong.”And it's a playful, purposeful contribution toward the building of stronger, more resilient writing communities.For readers of Beth Pickens’s Make Your Art No Matter What and Austin Kleon’s Steal Like an Artist, Derek Beaulieu distills 20 years of experience teaching creative writing into a joyfully mischievous manifesto on how to write and teach poetry with meaning.
