Description:

Penned by authors originally from and/or currently living in Northeast Ohio, the poems in this collection reflect a variety of styles and themes, from the traditional to the experimental, from light-hearted takes on everyday life to poignant reflections on love, loss, faith, and change. Many explore local landscapes and landmarks in intimate detail, some celebrate the seasons and the scenery, while others leave Northeast Ohio behind to explore distant locales both real and imagined. But they all, in their unique ways, delve into the geography of human existence and emotions. The authors are as diverse a group as their writing. Included here are poems from professional and spare-time writers alike, from teenagers to retirees. Taken together, the authors and their works are all voices of reflection and creativity from our collective community, the vibrant patchwork of places and personalities that is Northeast Ohio.
