A few of my poems are published in this recently released poetry anthology.




Emmett Wheatfall’s philosophical curiosity reflects the openness of a true seeker. Unquestionably rooted in the tangible, his poems invite us to consider the meaning hidden in everyday objects and occurrences. His sense of wonder encourages us to take another look at the world around us, to wander further into the mystery. The natural world becomes the stage upon which this universal drama plays out. With Emmett’s guidance, we may rediscover our place among the “butterfly and marigold.” Though the path can seem beset by “death and dying and sorrow,” with hope, the poet’s humble reminders will show us the way home.

- Christopher Luna, Poet, author, and editor

I first encountered emmett wheatfall amongst the poetry set on Twitter©. The poems he shared were so different from the herd, so unique, that I became an instant fan of his work. From that, somewhat random, introduction I became a regular follower of his blog as well as his spoken word recordings. With each piece my respect for the man and his art grew exponentially. The diversity and life experience in his work is like nothing else I have read. His ability to stylistically shift from a smooth jazz voice to a preachers fire is truly original. His verse can be lyrical or staccato and you can see influences from Tupac to Shakespeare, but it is always unmistakably emmett.

If you are a lover of good original poetry, of masterful use of language and imagery, then I suggest you get to know emmett wheatfall for yourself. His writing is musical, spiritual, classic and yet always contemporary. Be it romantic or philosophical, humorous or reminiscent, the words roll off your tongue and the themes will make you smile and nod your head in agreement. His poetic voice is a seamless bridge from “back in the day” to the day after tomorrow and his words could only have been written by a man who has lived.

- Steven M Grant, Poet
