Ginger Teppner's "Watercourse: A Poetic Investigation from Source to Sea"
Buy the book here: https://a.co/d/c6UBzTz Beautiful insights on the book from Ginger: "For me, maturing to allow the work to take its form includes accepting the unfinished nature of making. Marriage too changes course in different seasons. And as cliche as it may be, the watercourse is a force to be reckoned with. Better to go with the flow. Resistance is futile. All three of these threads are changeable, fluid as in not static, sometimes difficult, other times joyous. But there is a gorgeous freedom in staying present in our bodies with the work and in our relationships with the natural world. The Earth of Series began at Arts Letters and Numbers and author Alicia Calahane Lewis was the first to suggest that my new work should include a teaching component." Ginger Teppner received her MFA in Creative Writing from the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University and her BA in Cultural Studies from Empire State College. Her work has appeared in About Place Journal, Bombay Gin, Erasure, Semicolon, Upstairs at Duroc, Phylogeny, Shambhala Times, Not Enough Night, Metropolitan, Yew Journal, and more. Her chapbook "28 Gestures" appears in the anthology Precipice, and her chapbook I Should Have Been Linen was chosen to be included in the summer 2017 issue of The Lune. She self-published a chapbook: Watercourse and is currently teaching English at Polk State Gateway to College Collegiate High School while continuing to lead writing workshops. Her written work investigates the collapse of subject/object dichotomy, the democratization of language, and the transcendental nature and essence of words while juxtaposing the exotic with the prosaic.
