A Fresh Perspective

As the new literary publication Artisan Spirit published it's fourth issue I was pleased to see my work there sprinkled throughout it. I find that I am willing to try a new writing venture if it has a positive slant to it, and a readership that follows it as well.
Sometimes when life becomes complicated it's nice to see my Byline along side my poetry and essays or editorials. Right now the creative juices are flowing and I have a lot to write about. I started another Chapbook today, and am in the final editing stages of my poetry book. Hopefully I can complete the latter in the next few days. I want it to sell well and encourage other poets to write as well. I read a book of poems called "Essential Poems ( to fall in love with)by Daisy Goodwin. I enjoyed the compilation and found some of the poets inspirational. I was happy to see some poetry from the 16th and 17th century included. I personally am a fan of Old English. I find it fascinating the way certain artists string the words together creating nice verse.
As a College Professor I always encourage students who want to write poetry to read as much of it as possible, as well as to write it as well! I know that I need to write some imaginative words pretty soon or I'll feel like I'm not producing enough poetry. It's not that I haven't been writing at all, it's just I feel like a poetry editor right now, and I'm sick of editing my own work! I want to move onto something new. I guess only time will tell and I'll be busy penning my next award winning poem!
