CONGRATULATIONS ANN EMERSON

Ann Emerson, American Poet

Congratulations to our treasured friend and fellow poet, Ann Emerson, featured in the January/February issue of American Poetry Review (APR). Bravo! and big Hugs! to Ann. APR picked up four of Ann’s poems.

Ann has been writing poetry for several years now. She discovered – as I and more than a few others who read here have – that retirement opens the door to time for things that matter: mainly poetry, which is both creative expression and healing power. Ann currently studies with Ellen Bass in Santa Cruz, California. She’s had the opportunity to work on poetry with Jane Hirshfield, Dorianne Laux, and Joe Miller.

APR is one of American’s premier poetry periodicals, second only to Poetry magazine, the 100-year-old publication of the Poetry Foundation. APR has been published continuously since 1972. In tabloid format, it is available in hard and electronic editions. It has a world-wide circulation of some 17,000.

To read Ann’s poems, you can buy a copy of APRHERE. Several years ago Ann’s poetry was featured in the Alaska Quarterly Review, the literary publication of the University of Alaska, Anchorage. She is a contributing writer to Into the Bardo. You can read her poetry on that site by linking HERE.
