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:
Your book arrived today! I'm reading some poems as I sit in our yard watching the leaves fall. Some lines that felt like gifts include
...Hands clasped in a wooded shade... Evergreen hemlock, your dusky hue among maples beckons through the clinging steam....I am this darkened pantry filled with new finished gold...LOVE... Quiet as an unwrapped, escaping sunrise." Donna Eder
"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
" As for the book: incredible, wonderful, moving. Simple but never simplistic." Hank Fay
