Sip & Savor - poems for a perfect pairing

Beschreibung

Like a fine wine, poetry should be sipped, savored and enjoyed. 150 new poems in this book await your pleasure to read and treasure. Written while living in Walla Walla, where wine tasting is a common activity, the idea for a "poem tasting" came to me, since a single poem can be imbibed, swirled around in your mind, leaving notes of delight and enlightenment. You'll find the original poems in this book to be a nice variety of flavors - some thoughtful, some amusing, some forthright, some plainspoken. The challenge, of course, is to find the poems that have meaning for you and allow them to become a part of you in the process. Fortunately, you don't have to select just one bottle to take home. All the varietals are right here in this book, ready for your exploration, discovery and evaluation during your next poem tasting.

Edmond (Ed to his friends) lived in the Redmond, WA area for 17 years, attending Redmond High School. During that period, he earned Eagle Scout status, as well as God and Country and Order of the Arrow awards from the BSA. In high school, Ed's poetry and short stories were regularly published in the school newspaper and he became manager of the school's first radio station. Ed attended Eastern Washington University in Cheney, WA from 71-75, graduating with a BA degree in Journalism/Radio/TV. He became the university's first sophomore editor of the campus newspaper.Out of college, Ed worked for KREM-FM in Spokane as a radio announcer, taught at Ron Bailey School of Broadcasting and as a graphic artist and writer for Dick Wright Public Relations. He joined American Sign and Indicator in Spokane in 1976 and ascended from assistant copywriter to advertising and marketing manager for the firm. In 1980, he began his own firm, Creative Consultants, which worked with a variety of local, regional and national firms, until he retired in 2011. Ed was encouraged to publish a collection of poems he had written between the ages of fifteen to twenty-one called Colors of My Within in 2011. Since then, he has written four additional poetry books - New Hues and Past Tales, The Totem, Walla Walla Sweet and Sip & Savor. He also enjoys writing songs and became a lyricist and music producer in 2015 with his musical partner, John Rigg. The duo released four Robot Raven albums. In 2022, Ed worked with a talented musician from Italy, Michele Zara and created Sunflower 69 by Whistlewit - an homage to the music of the late '60's and early '70's. A country album by The Cow Cats will be released in 2023.
