August 2015
I am an English professor at a two-year college where I teach writing (creative and expository) and literature. My poetry has appeared in a number of small magazines, and I have two poetry chapbooks, That’s the Way the Music Sounds, from Finishing Line Press (2009), and Talking to the Mirror, from The Last Automat Press (2010). In addition to loving poetry, I have written a mystery novel, Shadow Notes, which will be published next spring by Barking Rain Press. I live with another English professor and poet, Dr. Van Hartmann, and would rather be rich than famous. My website: www.laurelpeterson.com

Waking Slow …the gift of protected liberty… Ann Lauterbach in that half awake half asleep state that begins day or gifts warm afternoons adrift in gold opening a jam jar is a nuclear explosion noise even the knock of a mildly open door in the breeze invades pure white landscape mind dream color like warm ribbon candy all and neither in between sight and sightless Try to carry forward the magic impossible half hazy world viewed through humid green leaf chiffon noise shocks the curtain open closed even the smallest |
