Carmen F Micsa

The PR - The Poetics of Running Carmen F Micsa

This book makes a wondeful coffee table book due to its inspiring, transcendent poems, and beautiful pictures. It is also available in e-book edition. A book of poetry in motion was inspired by my running meditation as a runner and marathoner. Each poem has a corresponding picture that was taken during my runs and conveys the deep spiritual aspect of running when we look inward, or when we simply stop to take the views all in. The chapters of the book and the poems describe not only the beauty and tranquility of nature, but also the pace and rhythm of life, as well as the body, mind, and soul of a runner. At the end of the book, I have included 100 lessons that running has taught me, as well as 50 ways to write poetry to inspire the poet in each of us. Most poems are written in free verse and contain rich and playful imagery that I hope will delight and rejoice your souls and soles. Happy feet! Happy reading and poetry writing, whether you run, bike, walk, hike, or are just an astute observer of life.
