POETS IN SOUND

Writers reading poems they love by an Arrowsmith author

Our first feature poet:

George Kovach

George Kovach was founding editor and publisher of CONSEQUENCE magazine, the international literary journal addressing the culture and consequences of war through literature and the arts. A poet and combat veteran, he directed a series of writing workshops for war veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“Kovach’s poems take us into some very dark places. Some of those places are literal, and some are the dark rooms of the heart, the places where fear-filled childhood memories are stored, or places where the violence of warfare remains etched into one’s being... At the same time these poems enact a renewable faith in the connections we forge and sustain with one another. That is the real light outside, and in these poems it outlasts the darkness. ”
— Fred Marchant, Said Not Said
