Welcome to my Poet Lady Chat Room. I would like to invite you to click on the chat box and type in a question, a suggestion, submit a poem, in other words – “chat with me.” I may, if you submit a poem, decide to feature it in my Poem of the Week section or, we may simply exchange ideas and suggestions about your poem.

This is a place to “talk” poetry with someone who has loved it all her life. I have a true passion for the possibilities of poetry and would love to hear your thoughts and/or read your poem. I will be happy to offer my reaction to your work and, based on over 40 years of teaching poetry, organizing, and conducting poetry workshops, working as a book review editor for an international poetry magazine, authoring five books of poetry and two textbooks on teaching poetry, send along my thoughts on ways to make your poem stronger and more impactful.

If you’re on my site, you have a connection to poetry. Feel free to connect with me – right here -right now, by typing your message into the “chat box” and clicking send. I’m waiting…

 

Your friend in poetry, Susan

The wind in my sails will always prevail the intensity of dusk that your criticism instigates, you can pursue, your persistent brawl but the ambience I sow cannot be drawn.

Thank you very much for sharing your poem with me.  I very much like "intensity of dusk" as an image for "criticism" and would have loved to have seen more in the way of imagery throughout this short, two-line poem.  I think you have delivered your message very well, and very thoughtfully.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
