Listening for Low Tide, my chapbook, has been awarded an honorable mention in the poetry chapbook category by the 2024 Eric Hoffer Book Award.
I'm pleasantly surprised and very happy at seeing the recognition given to my poems.
The commentary on my chapbook reads,
"Listening for Low Tide, James P. Cooper, Choeofpleirn Press
- In these metaphysical yet modern poems, the boundaries between dreaming and
waking blur, and so do the borders incurred on maps and within human existence.
These verses remind readers about the value of solitude and silence in this
ever busy and confusing world. This collection asks for a moment to "hear
/ the wintering geese before eight / of them glide onto the far shore."
Place is deeply important, presenting deep reflections about cities, roadsides,
rural spaces, and personal ranges that gently evoke remembrance of how even the
darkest train track can shape a person's life."
