2009 Judge from the Delaware Valley: Michael Cohen

Picture of Michael CohenReflective, philosophical, and humorous, Mike Cohen's writing is an ongoing attempt to make sense of this life and this universe. Much of it is very structured, replete with compulsive rhyme and meticulous meter. Some is not structured at all. It addresses the Big Bang and the little bumps as well. There is no topic too meaningful or too nonsensical.

There are two quasi-published books, Poet's Pilgrimage and For Reading Out Loud, both awaiting discovery and broad dissemination (perhaps posthumously). Mike's work has appeared in the Schuylkill Valley Journal, Mad Poets Review, Poetry Forum Anthology, and Philadelphia Daily News. He has presented public readings in various bookstores, coffee shops, and libraries.

Mike's current project is Poetry Aloud And Alive program at the Big Blue Marble Book Store in West Mt. Airy, where all are welcome to join, as featured readers and open-mic guests meet on the fourth Friday of every month at 7:30 PM, for a refreshing poetic break.
