Alan Cohen gave up years of behavioral science research for truffled pasta in Italy and sailing in northern California, a prosodic hotbed of poet laureates and near-laureates tripping over each other’s metaphors. Since 2009 he’s been read in over two dozen publications. His “Stewing In Juices†won California State Poetry Society’s 2011 annual award.
The five poems submitted here are samples from a chapbook
manuscript that will be submitted for publication in
December 2016.
