Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry saves my life. It saves yours too. If not, then finish reading Poetry at the Zoom, my first poetry anthology.
Back in the year 2000, I wrote the first of what would be 82 poems that now line the inner being of this book. The "At Last Loved, at Last Natural" poem has never been released or read at an open mic.
The rest of the poems found their way around Middle Tennessee and the Zoom sessions we had during the first two years of the pandemic. We are the Poetry at the Brew crew, which is now The Writer's Wart event. After 10 years of reading at the "Brew" we took the show onto Zoom thanks to Christine Hall, who wrote the foreword.
She wrote that my poetry seems to insist that nothing in the world is complete without it. My father violently disagreed. I wrote a lot about him as well as my also lost mother, sister, college roommate, friends, my exs, ' etc.
Losing so many saves my poetry from...my life. Let it save you too.
