In a loose and jazzy style (and with a nod to Lewis Carroll), former U.S. Poet Laureate Herrera offers instructions for "Jabberwalking," or writing poetry while in motion. The volume weaves elements of the poet's day-to-day life with writing advice. His punctuation, spacing on the page, and freehand drawings all send the message of encouraging young writers to let their words flow unstopped by convention or constraint.
