[authorimage:Denise Duhamel]Denise Duhamel on Chapter One

The Chapter One Project from my publisher, Marsh Hawk Press, features the memoirs of outstanding poets from diverse backgrounds, recalling the ways by which they found their start as writers. While creative writing programs seek to develop the talents of maturing writers, obscure but essential information about the development of the writing craft can be discovered in the early memoirs—the Chapter One’s—of established poets published in this series. Each month the press will post a new Chapter on its web site. The post for October is award-winning poet Denise Duhamel Denise Duhamel. To read Denise's memoir, “Mr. Rogers and Me,” and to watch and listen to her read an excerpt, visit the Marsh Hawk Press web site www.marshhawkpress.org.
