Cook’s latest chapbook, \u003cem\u003eheads held low\u003c\/em\u003e, will usher you through the changing seasons. Interwoven throughout this small collection are also poems about the declining health and loss of the author’s elderly family members and friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese three-lined poems are concise, impactful, and imbued with feeling. Perhaps one of Corey’s favorite poets, Donald Hall, is to thank for this as Hall was often quoted as saying that he viewed poetry as a “school for feeling.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is the author’s sincere hope that the poems gathered here will serve as catalysts for quiet contemplation, reflection, and mourning for all that’s been lost. That you too will be moved to hold your head low over these pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCorey D.
