<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Something is rotten in the state of American poetry. With respect to audience and artistry, poetry has shot itself in many portions of its anatomy, and keeps blasting. The fact that vast numbers of poems are published every year, and a large number of Creative Writing students and graduates combine to read a few of them, does not mean that poetry is on the right track. How has the erstwhile Queen of the Arts been consigned to the tiny corner of the cultural basement where she languishes today--and how can she get out? As an acclaimed poet and veteran teacher of poetry, Charles Harper Webb knows what it takes for a poem to grab a reader's attention and hold on. As a former rock singer/guitarist and a licensed psychotherapist, he understands how to connect with an audience. <i>A Million MFAs Are Not Enough</i> shows--with wit and style and concrete tips that working writers can use--how poetry can return to cultural relevance again.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Called "Southern California's most inventive and accessible poet," former rock musician and psychotherapist Charles Harper Webb is and acclaimed essayist, Professor of English at CSU, Long Beach, and the nation's foremost proponent of Stand Up Poetry. Recipient of grants from the Whiting and Guggenheim foundations and winner of the Saltman Prize from Red Hen, Webb teaches Creative Writing at California State University, Long Beach. <br>
