Poems from the Cranberry Room

About the Book

Poems From The Cranberry Room is the second collection of poetry from the Nashua, New Hampshire workshop group, Poets Unbound. Whether you're an avid reader of poetry or someone who hasn't read poetry in years, you will enjoy something in this book. The subjects of these poems are as diverse as divorce, death, Viet-Nam cuisine, oppressed women, family, and finding your place in the world, to name a few.

These are poems are written by individuals who share a dedication to the craft of poetry. You will not find poems that fell from pen to paper, immediately perfect. These poems are the result of a group focus on improving every poem and the poet's use of these suggestions. Feedback offers the poet new perspectives into their own work. Sometimes poems become very different than the originals.

Everyone in Poets Unbound has a unique style and voice. By spending time with these poems, you will feel like you've seen into each of their worlds.
