Writing the Life Poetic: An Invitation to Read and Write Poetry
No one needs an advanced degree in creative writing to reap the rewards of poetry. This invitation to creatives from all backgrounds puts poetry back into the hands of the people - not because they are aspiring to become the poet laureate of the United States - but because poetry is one of the great pleasures in life. Writing the Life Poetic helps anyone build skills and confidence in their poetic voice. While key craft issues are addressed, the approach is casual and friendly, rather than formal and academic. 
Like the Heart, the World
Sage Cohen's first full-length collection of poetry explores the concentricities of inner and outer landscapes. Like the Heart, the World accompanies the reader through the blighted streets of New York losses, the oceanic melancholies of San Francisco and Portland's orchestral embrace of the ripening, welcomed self. |
