On the “City Lights” series “Speaking of Poetry,” Atlanta’s most prolific wordsmiths discuss the art of evoking emotions with words. This “Speaking of Poetry” edition features poet and novelist Ray Sweatman.
“I got started writing poetry when I felt the need to capture a feeling or a moment. And I’m inspired when these feelings kind of take over,” said Sweatman, “I find they usually come best somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness. Unfortunately, I’ve lost many hours of sleep trying to catch that feeling.”
His new novel, “Cosmic American Rhapsody” blends prose and poetry styles. You can find more information about Sweatman and his works on his website.
