Imagine Morning, by Eric Forsbergh, a Masterful Debut Collection

ARLINGTON, Va. - Jan. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- (Arlington, Virginia)  Imagine Morning: Poems of Companionship & Solitude introduces a powerful new poet, Virginia writer Eric Forsbergh. A Navy veteran and dentist, Forsbergh brings a wealth of experience to his poems, which range from free to formal verse.

In this “masterful debut collection,” says former Virginia Poet Laureate Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda, “Forsbergh offers wisdom in poems that are insightful, lyrical, and compassionate.”

Citing Forsbergh’s “skillful handling of figurative language and sound devices,” Kreiter-Foronda says, “Here is a poet who ultimately reminds us to pay attention to even the smallest details in life, to refrain from dwelling on the past and instead ‘sway forward’ like an inchworm, ‘stretch and touch, / let go what’s behind.’”

“Eric’s poems take you into a hundred different worlds, each cadenced in metaphor, confirmed in color, imbued with feeling,” says fellow poet Anne Meek. “A dazzling array of life stages and experiences shines in these collected landscapes, portraits, and reflections.”

Forsbergh is an active member of the Poetry Society of Virginia. His poems have won the University of Tennessee Poetry Prize, the Hampton Roads Writers Poetry Prize, and the Poetry Society of Virginia Edgar Allen Poe Memorial Prize.
