Poet Talk with Michael Poage

I recently brushed off my podcast tools and had a lovely interview with Michael Poage. Check out our discussion about his latest book “Why the Will to Punish?” and other things that two poets like to discuss…you know…life.

You can locate Poage’s book online at many stores or go to Blue Cedar Press to get your copy.

By the way, this isn’t my first rodeo with Poage. Go back in memory lane by viewing this video.

NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT! What Matters Journal by Zaneta Varnado Johns

Prolific Pulse Press is pleased to announce the publication of this unique journal by Zaneta Varnado Johns.

This is a journal of intention, an acknowledgment of what matters. Inspired by Zaneta Varnado Johns’ Pushcart Prize nominated poem, “What Matters,” it is a tool for continuous reflection and mindfulness. Johns believes that every word shared is an opportunity to love. She further states that we are rich in unfailing love. How does it look when we consistently cultivate that love—for others and ourselves? Nothing else matters until we master the divine gift of knowing what matters.

Crafted with a style all her own, Johns has created a journal that is designed for thoughtful introspection and outward expressions of self-care and care for others.

The artwork by Pratibha Savani and Preeti Mistry add to the meaning of this designer’s dream. Kelli Jackson has also contributed to the design of this work of art.

The outstanding cover photography by Shari Filsinger shows the intended warm invitation to enter into moments of personal expressions.
