This video is an in-depth guide to poetry writing mistakes that I see made by beginner poets. With each mistake, I provide questions you can ask yourself so you can be proactive in the process of addressing each potential shortcoming.

You can quickly reference particular sections that are interesting and/or relevant to you via the chapters.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments on anything I touched on in the video. Thank you!
