Somatics of Poetry: If Your Body Could Speak

By J. D. Buchanan

What if a poem didn't start as an idea, but as a body?

One sleepless morning, a father pulls up to a drive-thru window expecting nothing - and his daughter's smile undoes him before his mind catches up. That single moment becomes the testing ground for a complete, reproducible method: the Somatic Loom, an eighteen-step system that derives poetry from breath, muscle, and physiological state rather than inspiration or metaphor.

You won't just read about the method - you'll watch it work, stanza by stanza, as one real poem is built in front of you from the body up.

Part craft manual, part philosophy, Somatics of Poetry will change how you listen - to a page, to a room, and to yourself. The second volume in a trilogy that began with Kinesthetics of Language.
