More Than Enough: An Anthology From The Sacramento Poetry Center Writing Groups

by Nick LeForce

More Than Enough is a collection of poems written by particpants in four separate writing groups offered through the Sacramento Poetry Center of Sacramento, California between 2020 and 2021. Each one comes straight from the heart of the writer, molded out of experience and observation, and written with passion. As an anthology, the poems in the collection do not follow a consistent theme or address a common topic. There are poems about childhood and aging, about love and loss, about everyday moments and mystical experiences, about grief and joy and little things that make life worth living. It is like a you are sure to find many poem that speaks to you, that feel as if they were meant for you, as well as ones you know are perfectly suited for others that you will want to share with them. Either way, it is a collection that will lift spirits, soothe souls, offer the strength to face life's inevitable challenges, and the courage needed to move forward on your own path in life. Grab the book, take a seat, and have a feast! For many of us, writing poetry is a doorway to a world of expression that connects us to a deeper current of life. The evocative nature of poetry taps into one’s memories, emotions, imagination, and personal history. In poetry, the condensed language, the use of metaphor, the shape and sound of words, the metered rhythms, and poetic structures serve many purposes - not only in imparting meaning but in expressing and creating an experience. In writing poetry, we open a line of communication that flows like a river that goes beyond ourselves and takes us on a journey to a world of possibilities outside of our own frames of reference. Once we drink from that deeper current, it is easy to get hooked. And that usually means seeking out writing groups to hone skills, get feedback, and share your work. And hopefully, this collection will ecourage you to pick up your pen and compose.
