On Writing and Poetry: Harry Calhoun in Conversation
Your business trip ends tonight, a poem written for my wife, was featured in the October, 2008 issue of Word Catalyst Magazine.
Praise for I knew Bukowski like you knew a rare leaf
Your poetry is so real and easy to relate to. I don't know how anyone could read your work and still say "I don't get poetry." -- Shirley Allard, editor, Word Catalyst
A sip or a gulp -- it's all pleasure ... Calhoun's poems are accessible as my best-loved sweater, yet filled with quiet astonishments. -- Hillary Hebert, writer
I really enjoyed your book. I admire the fact that at this stage in your life you can write with a tone that is uplifting much of the time, even jubilant. It made me feel good to read something like that for a change. I know there are a lot of damaging memories mixed in, but the narrator in that work manages to rise above it all. -- Tim Peeler, editor, Third Lung Press
Sometimes we float through somber memories that leave us uneasy, wrestling with soft spoken demons that seem more like old friends than nightmares.
