"Anatomy of a Poet" Book

Introduction by Author, Robert S. Cosmar

In 2012, after more than forty years of writing, I finally finished my first book of poetry for adults. I already had three books of poetry for children, so I was excited to finally have one for grownups.

My love/life partner, Robert Cosmar, is also here on Substack, where he’s an Astrologer, author and an excellent writer. It seemed natural to ask if he would honor me by writing the Introduction for my book: "Anatomy of a Poet".

Thinking it would be something short and to the point, I was totally blown away by the incredible Introduction he wrote:

Introduction

Like a rose with many petals sharing its sweet aroma -- this is how I see and feel about the love of my life, CJ Heck.

She is my electric blue-eyed girl, who can be both little girl, or strong woman, whenever and wherever the situation calls for it. She is both sensuous and exciting, and soft and affectionate.

Tragedy struck her life early with the death of her husband in Vietnam. This experience laid open the very core of her heart and soul and opened the channel to a well of compassion and sensitivity that waited deep within. Her pain was the fertilizer that helped her bloom as a writer.

Her poetry is not a surface observation, but a soulful interpretation of the events and people who have inspired her during her life.

CJ writes both eloquently and simply of things that touch her heart, or things she wants to share. She is gifted at painting a picture with words on the heart and imagination of others, thereby communicating not just an image, but a life experience.

I feel very honored to have been asked to write this introduction and share my feelings about CJ Heck. She is the water for my soil, the sunlight for my petals, and the nurturer of my growth.

Sit back, open your heart, and enjoy the journey as revealed through her words, images, and emotions. You are blessed by this opportunity to know her in words, as I know her in life.

Sincerely,

Robert S. Cosmar
Author, Astrologer
