Guilford Poets Guild Poets Featured in International Collection of Poems


Poets from The Guilford Poets Guild (GPG) are represented in Coffee Poems: Reflections on Life with Coffee, a new anthology from World Enough Writers.

Editor Lorraine Healy says, “Whether central to the poem or sitting on a side table, a mere accessory; whether a prop in an internal conversation with a you absent these 25 years or a desperately needed substance without which there is no facing the day, a cup of coffee inhabits each of these poems,” says Lorraine Healy, editor. “Breathe in the scent and may it keep you awake.”

Coffee Poems contains 167 poems by poets from 34 states, 5 provinces, and 12 countries including Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, France, Ghana, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Singapore, Spain, and the United States.

Included among the 139 international poets are GPG members Gwen Gunn (“Cafe Cilantro Haven”), Patricia O’Brien (“Midnight Call”), Jen Payne (“Measuring Water by Sound”), and Ed Walker (“Drifting through Quarters”).

Copies of Coffee Poems: Reflections on Life with Coffee can be purchased online at www.worldenoughwriters.com.
