Buxton Books is excited to welcome Ed Gold to celebrate his new poetry collection, Sundown. Ed Gold will be reading his from his collection and signing books. This will be an in-store event!
About Sundown:
Sundown— a life in poetry—from childhood to first love, loss, bewilderment, aging—and acceptance. There are many forms of poetry here, including the fugue, haibun, haiku, and one of Ed’s favorites–the cento. Centos created out of product names, classic haikus, lost Elizabethan words, Trumpian crazy talk, and Neruda’s questions. For an exciting read, these poems by Ed Gold show great skill, and more important, great heart.
About Ed Gold:
Ed is a poet from Baltimore with an M.A. from the Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars. Ed taught in the English department at the University of Maryland for 15 years and wrote poetry intensely. Then he stepped back from poetry and plunged into the Washington, D.C, federal government arena as a writer, writing trainer, and editor. In his sixties, he bloomed again, churning out poems and working with an amazing group of poets in Charleston, South Carolina. He and his wife, Amy, live in Charleston with their dog, Edie. His first chapbook, Owl, was published by SCOP Press.
