Collection from the "Humbler Poet": Third in the 'Humbler Poet' Series

by Joan Tenner

Overview

BLANK VERSE

A Fancy farce,

A poem too obscure, Too enigmatic for words

Gives no pleasure!

Thoughts-written

Must transfuse from One heart to another

In some measure.

Otherwise, That verse Is indeed...

BLANK!

by

Joan Jenner

(She is "The Humbler Poet.")

About the Author

Joan Tenner began to write at an early age and continue throughout her life. Joan's poetry became her voice that expressed her ideas, her impressions and her reflections of her world beyond her kitchen window as she washed the dishes, cleaned her house and cared for her children. Inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who wanted to read some "simple heartfelt lay to soothe restless feelings . . . read from some humbler poet. " So, Joan considered her poems as quite ordinary and simple writings;She became that "Humbler Poet!"Joan's two early volumes of poetry, Consider the "Humbler Poet" and Journey Through Thistles and Time, published in 1979 and 1984 respectively, have since been edited and reintroduced to the public as part of the "Humbler Poet" Series.This volume, entitled Collection from the "Humbler Poet," is the 3rd and last of the Series, contains works that has never been printed be-fore. It contains not only poetry but also some short "stand alone" stories as well as other compositions and conversations. Her Halloween stories entitled Grandma's Halloween Stories, were written over an eight-year period from 1989 through 1996 for her grandchildren and was published by Wisdom House Books in 2020.
