​

The Chapter One Project from Marsh Hawk Press features the memoirs of outstanding poets from diverse backgrounds, recalling the ways by which they found their start as writers. While creative writing programs seek to develop the talents of maturing writers, essential information about the development of the writing craft will be discovered in the early memoirs—the Chapter One’s—of established poets published in this series.

 

 

Chapter One Essay for February:

Denise Duhamel: “In Praise of Colette Inez’s ‘Pay Yourself First’”

In 1990 I had the pleasure of reading with Colette Inez in a library in Tarrytown, NY. We bonded immediately—we were both wearing all black. We both had (dyed) red hair. We were both Geminis with June birthdays. We were both of French heritage.

PAUL PINES: Charlotte Songs

The great themes—like Love, Death and Family— have inspired masterpieces and, alas, Hallmark Cards. In Charlotte Songs, Paul Pines celebrates his daughter. But, if you want the Hallmark Card version of fatherhood, you’ve come to the wrong place. Pines gives us the full paradox of living with his child as she grows from toddler to young woman. Inventive, humorous, baffling and poignant.
