From the Introduction by Hochman: This is a personal book that I hope will be like a friend. In a simple way I want to tell you some thoughts that I have about writing poetry and songs, and share with you some warm-up exercises for writing that can be used to limber up the mind the same way that dancers limber before a performance. Writing has always been for me a necessary experience something that I feel compelled to do. If that feeling of wanting to write is inside of youwhat I call the Necessary Angel wanting to speakthat writing can be a part of your life experience the way it is part of mine.
