a poet’s notebook

PLAUDITS

  • Anne @ Ample Sanity: I keep a mental filing cabinet of certain things and people who cross my path. The top drawer has a label which reads "Deeper Magic". Sort through the files and you will find SB.
  • China Daily: A Creative Landscape Indicates a Romantic Existence

China Daily


Aren’t we always looking to lend our lives something of a romantic
sensibility? So–have you experienced the beauty of artistic
representation? People often regret the lack of poetry in their lives.
What would happen if you took every incident of your life and expressed
it through a picture and a poem? Well, you’ll have to savor the
sensation yourself. Don’t hesitate–throw off your trepidation–once
you’ve tried it, you may just find the romance that’s been missing from
your life for so long.

  • Prairie Mary: Dear
    SB, you have the most charming comments I’ve read yet and the only
    Chinese one I’ve run across!
  • Dave PollardA writer that has helped me in my difficult struggle to learn to pay
    better attention is Sharon Brogan at Watermark. Her lovely poetry like this piece is always entirely in the moment, and her photography, like the composition reproduced above, mostly of natural things, is exquisite. Go there, be refreshed.

  • Dave Bonta: SB – sometimes after reading one of your "snapshot" poems, I feel a sudden, inexplicable desire for a cigarette…

    selva says:

    "SB captures, in image and verse: the wonder and terror of life; the
    glories of nature which inspire our art; the forces within and without
    which conspire to tear us down. She paints with what is real and makes
    it into beauty. If I had one chance to be transformed whole into verse, I would want it to be by her hand."

  • Theresa Quintanilla: Sharon Brogan is one of my favorite bloggers. Reading her work is a
    journey of constant discovery. When I read her postings, everything in
    the world falls back into its proper place.

  • Chasing Daisy: If I said
    "poetry and cats" you’d roll your eyes heavenwards wouldn’t you? Go
    see, it’s so much more than that.

  • the heritik: What a wondrous strong voice!  . . . Watermark seems sometime a creature parthenogenic, but I know her parents are the heart and the soul, heart and soul always the parent of all great poets, and of all good things in life…

  • The Weblog Review. . . honest and refreshing . . . a wonderful place to come and reflect on the things that matter in life.
  • Patia Stephens. . . lovely . . . poetry, thoughtful politics, cats and more
  • The Weblog Review. . . off to a great start . . . Her experiment, as she calls it, is one I hope sticks around for a while — 5 out of 5
  • Time Goes By. . . an ethereal quality. . . a special place, perhaps of renewal . . .
  • City Lights: a nice break for your eyes and your mind
