=============================
When I was first forced to study poetry in grade school, I hated it with a passion. I just didn't see the point of grasping for meaning in the subtleties of imagery and poetic devices. Only when I became a literature major in college and got to study with a professor who personified the spirit of poetry did I begin to feel the wallop great poets could pack into a few lines of verse.
Poetry can stir our passion, unleash our imagination, touch our hearts, and expand our horizons, so it's only fitting that a book cover for a poetry collection should express the same level of intensity. Artist Charles Johnson's design for Stirring the Sky: Poetry of the Shadow Poets Society certainly stirs me with desire to indulge in a poetic moment.

Poetry is thought to be a dying art - not many people appreciate it, but the Shadow Poets prove poetry to be alive and well!
I have actually read both books and found them to be an amazing compilation of writing from authors all over country (and the world) and it is hard to find such quality in most writing groups with such a diverse group of people.
