Light Leaks Through is a book of poems centered on the experience of living at Owsley Fork Writers Sanctuary. My partner and fellow poet, Linda Bryant Davis bought the 30 acre property, with three cabins in Berea from Gloria Watkins (bell hooks) in 2019.
What people are saying:
"Reading your collection-- If I didn't know you, l sure would want to know you!
A lot of lovely stuff in there, and you do bring us into your world." Linda Angelo
"These delicate, Zen-inflected poems—many inspired by the natural beauty of Owsley Fork Writers Sanctuary, which Coleman and his wife, Linda Bryant, have operated on their mountainside property near Berea—are simply stunning." Kevin Nance
