What happens when four poets, friends for years, gather in a beautiful place to sit on a porch to talk, live, breathe, and create poetry for days at a time? These friends are well-known and well-respected practitioners and teachers of their craft. But these poetry days were different. They offered the poets a chance to take a deep, reflective dive into their own approach to the art, at their own pace, with sharp, insightful input from the others. Not only were their skills examined, but also their relationships to the work, to the landscape around them, to the poems that seemed to spring from the mountain air as they laughed, cooked, mused on the porch swing, and absorbed the creative juices surrounding them in that special place. The result is this remarkable chapbook containing some of the output of those sessions over a period of several years. A lovely and intriguing book. The Porch Poets are: Susanna Connelly Holstein, Sherrell Runnion Wigal, Cheryl Denise, and Kirk Judd.
