About the author
Maureen Hynes
10 books6 followersAs a poet, editor and educator, Maureen believes that good art is like a flamenco dance -- urgent, passionate, brilliant! It wakes us up, opens us up and makes us more aware.
A primary principle for her own work is for it to be holistic – that it intensely engage cognition, our senses and our emotions, which are such mysterious masters and servants in our lives, but which also form the constellation that makes us human.
"My poetry," says Maureen, "is always an attempt to go deeper, mostly into a lot of commonplace experiences, situations or vistas to find the still moment where a small connection or realization can be made, hopefully with poetic grace. Sort of like following a thread into the underworld, and not always possible until well after the experience.”
