Poetry, like life in general, has its solitary moments, but it is also a very collaborative art. Sometimes, when the going gets tough, the only way I can get going is with a dear and capable friend holding my hand. Case in point: the poems I have had the privilege to write with the amazing
Denise Duhamel, some of which have been published in
ABBA: The Poems by Coconut Books. Our publisher,
Bruce Covey, was in town from Atlanta this past week to read his hilarious and devastating poems, including his latest book
Reveal (which was composed with the help of Google "I feel lucky" searches). He gave a fantastic reading (with the prodigious
Amy King) and I got to "reveal" to him that Denise and I are collaborating on some new poems. Stay tuned....
