Abstract:
A former United States Poet Laureate shares secrets about viewing the world from a poet's perspective, explaining how "jabberwalking" poets draw inspiration from everything they experience to express themselves in creative ways.
Can you walk and talk at the same time? What about Jabberwalk? Can you write and draw and walk and journal all at the same time? United States Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera can, and he's here to teach you everything he knows about being a real-life, bonified, Jabberwalking poet! Jabber Walkers write and speak for themselves and others no matter where their feet may take them - to Jabberwalk is to be a poet on the movce! And there's no stopping once you're a Jabber Walker, writing fast, fast, fast, scribble-poems-on-the-run. Scribble what you see. Scribble what you hear. It's all out there - let's go! ¡Vámonos! -- From dust jacket.
