Poetry lovers, once again I'm thrilled to shine the spotlight on work by A.M. Hayden, who has recently released the lovely collection that is, Old World Wings. You can read my brief review below, and pick up a copy for yourself by clicking on the book cover image! Phenomenal, nostalgic, at times humorous, and heartfelt poetry by the rising star that is American poet, A.M. Hayden! This collection, as evidenced by its title, gives flight to reflections on multiple European adventures -- the art, the history, the passion -- from Venice to Sligo, and more -- it's got it all. Beautifully done! -Samantha Terrell, EIC SHINE international poetry series   A.M. Hayden served as Poet Laureate for Sinclair College from 2021-2025 and is a Tenured Professor of Humanities, Philosophy, and World Religions, receiving the League for Innovation Teaching Excellence Award (2020) and the Distinguished Faculty Scholars Award (2024). She has two full length poetry collections (American Saunter: Poems of the U.S. and Old World Wings: Poems of Europe) and one chapbook (How to Tie Tobacco), published by FlowerSong Press and Wild Ink Publishing. Twice nominated for the Pushcart Prize and a River Heron Editors' Choice Winner, she lives on a windy farm with her family and many rescues including a blind, three-legged dog named Vinny Valentine and a three-legged goat named Old Man Jenkins.
