    About this ebook

    Walks
    Fallen leaves
    Sweet decay
    Ferments this morning.
    Like lovers clinging
    To memories of lost summer heat,
    They curl tightly into one another,
    Dreading their wintry farewell.

    Sound Beach
    November 2015

    Touched by the scent of burning corn stalks and pumpkins ripening in the sun, February winds off the Long Island Sound, and midnight ferry runs out of the harbor, Robert Hodum in Catching Winds North celebrates lifes bewilderments and delicious moments.

    Hodums poetry spans nearly fifty years of creative expression that shares lyrical tales inspired by lifes rogue breezes. Selections written during his life in Colombia speak of the mystery and complexities of this Latin American country. Included are poems inspired by his mission trips to Nicaragua that celebrate its people and their folklore.

      Writing From The Edge

      May 1, 2019

      One outreaches language in poetry when the inseeing elements of consciousness ask the unseen of life to come forward. My aim has been to unseat what we assume about time, about the verities of love and death, of the consciousness of those other senti

      There’s a term that’s been circulating in the spheres of poetry I like: geopoetics. I’ve heard it for several years, and have always loved it, despite never fully grasping its meaning. I figure it has to mean something beyond simply “poems about rock
