Description
Scott Wiggerman leads a look at the various techniques of using rhyme in modern poetry, from traditional pure rhyme to various types of slant rhyme to unconventional types of rhyme like anagram rhyme, inclusion rhyme, reverse rhyme, and others. Wiggerman clarifies the many ways to rhyme, provides actual examples of them, and does a few short exercises to develop an appreciation for various approaches to rhyme, many of which can be used not only in formal poems, but in free verse. Be prepared to rethink rhyme!
A member of the Texas Institute of Letters, Scott Wiggerman is the author of three books of poetry: Leaf and Beak: Sonnets; Presence; and Vegetables and Other Relationships.
