" If I can impart one final message, beyond the usual declarative to read poetry and buy poetry books," writes Evan Jones in his introduction to The Civilizing Discourse, " it is to listen to poets. The real ones offer wisdom and a perspective at odds with prevalent visions." In a series of passionate, enlightening, frank, engaging, and sometimes astonishing conversations, thirteen poets-- many acknowledged masters-- open up about their writing processes, their childhoods and marriages, their regrets, as well as their hopes for and frustration with poetry. From Norm Sibum describing his affinity with a waitresses and cabbies to Nyla Matuk's wrenching investigations into the Palestinian side of her family; from Don Coles's obsession with alternative universes to Robyn Sarah's praise for discarded things; from Elise Partridge describing her shift in priorities after a cancer diagnosis to Steven Heighton's interest in remaining childlike, The Civilizing Discourse is not only a highly readable record of the literary scene today, but, in its celebration of language, will appeal to poetry readers and poets alike.

Writing this book has been a three-year process. Why you ask? Because I didn't have all of my thoughts together to complete it. I had to get out of my own way mentally and refocus my priorities. As a man, husband, father of 5, soldier in the United States Army, life can get hectic in today's society. I've struggled a lot, one reason being I found my way in this world without my father but a great support system instead. I always wondered "where is the rule book to this thing called life?" This book is not a rule book to life, instead, tools to help you build a foundation to have a successful path to happiness. Happiness with self, happiness with relationships, happiness with love, and happiness within society. My hope is that you can take some of the lessons learned through my perspective on the chapters I've shared to create your own platform of peace. You create the journey and you create the ending.
