The Crafty Poet II: A Portable WorkshopLike the original, The Crafty Poet II is organized into ten sections.

Like the original, The Crafty Poet II is organized into ten sections. We again end with "Revision," but this time we also begin with it in "Revising Your Process." That section is followed by one on "Entryways into Poems" which considers how a poet might get going with a poem and how a poet might pull in a reader with humor and enticing titles. There is in-depth discussion of the importance of choosing the right words; using syntax, line breaks, and spacing to advantage; and enhancing the music of poems. There is a meaty section on how to add complication to your poems, another on how to divert or transform your poems from their original intention, and another on special forms of poems. In "Expanding the Material" three poets consider how to write poetic sequences using paintings, photographs, and history. The final section, "Revision," moves beyond the usual advice to "get rid of adjectives" as one poet offers ways to revise via sound, another offers a series of expansion strategies, and, finally, poet Dick Allen issues a warning against excessive revision.

All ten sections include three craft tips, each provided by an experienced, accomplished poet. Each of these thirty craft tips is followed by a Model poem and a Prompt based on the poem. Each model poem is used as a mentor, again expressing the underlying philosophy of the first book that the best teacher of poetry is a good poem. You will find that the model poems receive more analysis than in the first book and that the prompts are a bit more challenging. Each prompt is followed by two Sample poems which suggest the possibilities for the prompts and should provide for good discussion about what works and what doesn't. Each section includes a Poet on the Poem Q&A about the craft elements in one of the featured poet's poems. Each section concludes with a Bonus Prompt, each of which provides a stimulus on those days when you just can't get your engine started.

Quick and easy claim process
We filed the claim and they sent us a return label within a day. I sent back the unit and in the same day, they issued a refund. Amazingly easy and fast. Will definitely use their warranty services again.

Definitely worth having the peace of mind of the support from the Asurion team.
Good value and mostly worry free. Took several more steps to complete than originally described. I had to resubmit material and pictures a few times before everything was finally accepted, but in the end I was satisfied with the results.

So worth it - painless
I decided to get the extended warranty for my Black & Decker hand vac. When it stopped holding the charge, I reached out to Asurion. First of all, I love how I don’t have to search through papers and emails to try to find my warranty. It’s right in my Amazon purchases. They immediately started a conversation via text message with me. It was so straightforward to get the information to them. Then they sent me a return label, then Bada Bing, Bada Bang, I sent back my malfunctioning hand back, and they sent me an Amazon gift card. I use the gift card to purchase a New Hands back because I can’t live without it. Everything went so smoothly and it was so quick I highly recommend it for any electronics that you rely on and you would replace if it became inoperable.

Did the right thing to resolve my issue.
Covered my cost with little hassle. Started down the path of going back to manufacturing company but decided to just do a refund. The product was a floor vac that died.
