Items related to Mad With Yellow
Mad With Yellow, Lisa Starr's third full-length collection of poetry, celebrates and explores the beauty, grief, love and loss implicit in this being human. World renowned Rumi translator and poet Coleman Barks describes Starr as ;a force of nature; and her poems as;utterly necessary; Her poems capture her love for the natural world, the island community where she lives, and the people (and animals) she chances to meet. Mad With Yellow paints a picture of Starr's mad dance through life-- her love for her children, her relationship with the natural world, and her determination to look disease (mental and physical) square in the eye, and transform it into something beautiful.

About the Author:
An inn-keeper, a mother, a basketball coach and a teacher, Lisa Starr, Rhode Island s Poet Laureate, divides her time among a variety of interests, her children, and her passion for poetry. She is a two-time recipient of the R.I. Fellowship for Poetry. In her capacity as Poet Laureate, Starr is generating a statewide poetry pen-pal system which creates and then partners writing circles among student and elderly communities around the state. She has also established poetry circles in hospitals, homeless shelters, the state prison, and agencies for children and adults with severe mental and physical disabilities. In April of 2009 Starr assembled more than a dozen US State Poets Laureate in Rhode Island for Poetry for Hope, a series of readings, workshops, and public forums featuring the visiting poets and emerging and established Rhode Island poets and musicians at schools, libraries and cultural attractions around the state. The poets worked with more than 7500 Rhode Islanders during the 5-day poetry sweep. Starr s third collection of poems, Mad With Yellow, was published in September, 2008. She is the author of two other books: This Place Here (2001) and Days of Dogs and Driftwood (1993). Starr is the founder and director of the Block Island Poetry Project, a nationally acclaimed celebration of the arts and humanity, now in its 6th year. A poet by choice and an innkeeper by necessity, Starr owns and operates the Hygeia House, a 10-room inn on Block Island. The brightest lights of her life are her two children, Orrin (12) and Millie(11) and her dog, Brother. When time permits, she writes her heart out.
