Simple Rhythms: Poetry for Runners

by Ray Charbonneau

"There are two tools that I use almost everyday to seek out balance and some semblance of poetry and running. Usually, the only place these two indulgences intersect is in my head while I’m on a run, sifting through an idea for a poem. With Simple Rhythms , Charbonneau has found that sweet spot where the two can coexist in a lighthearted, easy reading sort of way."
-Jason Fisk, author of Sadly Beautiful

Anything you do regularly takes on layers of meaning. Running regularly certainly gives you time to think, and to find meaning in simple things and perhaps in things not so simple. In Simple Rhythms , Ray Charbonneau finds poetry in motion, the simple and basic motion of running.
