Reflections: From the Desk of an Urban Poet

By Marion Palm

This collection of poetry is a thirty-year journey as an urban poet. Themes are trying to find love, losing love, and reconciling. Individual poems speak specifically to the experience of the empty nest, role reversals, separations, and adaptations to language and culture. “Swinglish” and made-up words appear throughout the work, along with chants and spells, which is why these poems have enjoyed popularity as performance poems. For every poet, there comes a time when a poet needs to assemble his/her own favorites for this kind of book, a reflection.

Marion Palm

Marion Palm is a prominent poet/singer who lives in Brooklyn, New York. She is the only child of Swedish immigrants and was raised in a bi-lingual Swedish speaking home.. When her marriage ended back in 1982, she returned to her roots in Brooklyn and discovered she could live without a car and use public transportation to get to and from work. She was also able to get back to performing and writing, and that was possible because she lives in a co-op, not your ordinary co-op but one of the original Finnish co-ops.
