Postcards from the Interior

Postcards from the Interior is a collection of poems in free verse, formal verse, and prose poetry. The first section, “Postcards from Vermont,” is composed of poems from Vermont towns and historical landmarks, such as Robert Frost’s grave. The second section includes poems from other settings, real and imagined.

The Way Back
This second collection of poetry by Wyn Cooper paints a portrait of a world filled with equal shades of wry humor and desolation. It’s a place where men and women can’t seem to find common ground and where “all we need is here. / We have forty words for fear.”

The Country of Here Below
This book is now in a third printing. It contains an introduction by the novelist Madison Smartt Bell, who went on to cowrite and perform a cd with Wyn, Forty Words for Fear. The cd contains a spoken word piece by producer Don Dixon, based on the title poem of this book.
