시를쓰고싶지만어디서부터시작해야할지막막한이들을위한책.『시,어렵지않게쓰자』는‘어떻게써야좋은시가될까’라는질문에실질적인답을주는시창작입문서다.수많은시쓰기이론서들이문학적해석에집중할때,이책은초보자의눈높이에서시작해실제창작의과정에집중한다.
시의주제를어떻게설정할것인지,감정을어떻게절제할것인지,시행을어떻게나누고제목을어떻게붙여야할지등시쓰기의핵심요소들을구체적인예시와함께차근차근짚어나간다.특히‘시와소재의차이’나‘시적언어를다듬는법’등기존시집을읽는것만으로는알기어려운창작의디테일을충실히담아냈다.
시를쓰는일이거창하거나특별한일이아니라고말하는이책은,오히려시가일상속에있다는사실을깨닫게한다.나만의목소리로세상에말을걸고싶은이들,시라는언어로감정을표현하고싶은모든이들에게『시,어렵지않게쓰자』는든든한동반자가되어줄것이다.
