From Our Current Issue
Straining by Kathleen Spivack
Sojourning alone in Paris,
he thought, now finally
he was a poet. All the props
were his: the cloak, the hat
like a cringing accordion,
the mustache, the walking stick
pronouncing ends-of-sentences
on the sidewalk.
Quest: A Writer’s Journey
Edited by Susan Terris.
Series Editor Sandy McIntosh.
Original memoirs by outstanding poets from diverse backgrounds who recall how they found their beginnings. While university creative writing programs generally seek to develop the talents of maturing writers, essential information about the development of the craft will be found in these early memoirs.
Marsh Hawk Press believes that literature begins in community—on the first page, in the first line that makes you pause.
The Chapter One series is our way of opening the door a little wider: offering first chapters and essays from our authors, free to read, so that curiosity can become commitment, and a single page can become a lifelong reader–writer relationship.
