"The Poet's Curse" Everything the poet sees or hears, thinks, feels or imagines gets captured, interpreted and shoe-horned into a damn poem whether they like it or not. ____________________________________________________________________________ "Michael Estabrook's The Poet's Curse is a must-read collection by a particularly perceptive observer of our often-cockeyed world." ~ Wayne Hogan, Poet &Artist "Estabrook is a master jeweler, and each day, each moment, of his life is a small, glittering stone waiting to be shaped into something iridescent and precious. ~ John Sweet, Poet "I never tire of his humorous, often self-deprecating, yet poignant poetry." ~ Glenn Cooper, Poet & Collagist

Autorenporträt
Educated first in the sciences, graduating into comparative literature and languages, Michael Estabrook is a recently retired baby boomer child-of-the-sixties poet freed finally after working 40 years for "The Man" and sometimes "The Woman." No more useless meetings under florescent lights in stuffy stale windowless rooms. Instead, he is able to concentrate on making better poems and on pursuing other interests including: art, music, theatre, opera, history, genealogy, philosophy, and his wife, who has always been the most beautiful woman he has ever known. Since the late 1980s, Michael has published over 20 collections, including most recently: Bouncy House, edited by Larry Fagin (Green Zone Editions, 2014); Two Sides of the Same Coin, drawings by Wayne Hogan (little books press, 2016); It Is What It Is, with Phil Weidman, drawings by Wayne Hogan (little books press, 2018). Hopefully with each passing decade the poems have become more universal in nature: clear and concise, succinct and precise, more thought-provoking and relatable.
