Autorenporträt
Larry Sorkin is a some-of-the-time Charlotte, North Carolina poet, a part-time business man and an occasional performer of poetry with the classical music group, The Bechtler Ensemble. He presents workshops exploring the connections between poetry and fine arts, dance, music and depth psychology. He is a summer poet in residence at the Airy Knoll Arts Project. Poetry didn't come to Sorkin until his forties when he fell under the infectious influence of Robert Bly. He considers it a calling to spread the passion. He often holds up on his ridgetop overlooking the Piedmont, daydreaming into the fields and onto paper.
