Verb Your Enthusiasm
āPersonable, smart, and, yes, enthusiasticā¦ a masterclass you can take at your own pace.ā ā Ron Charles
āThis verb-filled outing reads like a dream.ā ā Publishers Weekly (starred)
āAn almost shockingly adroit guide to how to make every word count.ā āBenjamin Dreyer, author of the New York Times bestseller Dreyer's English
An elegant guide to the promise, power, and poetry of verbs, from Pulitzer Prizeāwinning writer Sarah L. Kaufman
Verbs are the underrated stars of the English language. They hold it all together. A complete sentence cannot exist without one, yet a single verb can create complete meaning. (See?) In this brilliant exploration of language, grammar, and style, Sarah L. Kaufman illuminates how all of us, professional writers and novices alike, can master the art of the verb and unlock the infinite potential of written expression.
When she was the dance critic at The Washington Post, Kaufman was challenged to translate the dynamic language of movement into words. Verbs showed her the way. Good verbs power great storytelling; they leap off the page, fire our senses, and transform our perceptions.
Verb Your Enthusiasm is a clarion call for all of us to get back to basics: to mean what we say, and say what we mean. Across eleven chapters, Kaufman proves how strong verbs can make your own writingābe it an email, a text, a report, or an adāmore efficient and effective, and investigates theories of language that will change how you read and write. But this isnāt a grammar guide, and it surely isnāt a set of rules. Great writing comes from a mix of inspiration, passion, and intelligenceāfrom your unique discernment and imagination. Searching for the right verb might even reveal something true about yourself. All that in a word. So go. Write. Verb.
