Additional Resources

Books

Note: This is a list of books that have moved and influenced me; there are many excellent books and articles in the field, and I have not read them all. In terms of practice, Judith Tannenbaum's Disguised as a Poem, a report on her poetry workshop at San Quentin, listed in the first section of this bibliography, remains the best work in the field.
