The Poet's Corner:

The Works of Stephen W. Cote



Dedication

In memory of Dr. Ricardo Sanchez.

I wish I had let you know before you left this world how much you influenced and affected my life. A Taste of Paradise has evolved from that twenty five page chapbook I wrote for your poetry class into something I think is amazing .. simply because it had one of your helping hands in its creation. I don't think any of these poems could exist if you had not breathed that special kind of magic of yours into me. Through this manuscript, and in all of my poems, that spark you passed into me will spread and grow into everyone who reads, and understands in my words, what makes life so very special, and why those of us who feel we need to write, resign ourselves to this arduous undertaking.

- Stephen W. Cote




Foreword

One of the first pieces of poetry received by the Writer's Gallery, it still remains one of our favorites. This work is a vast mixture of moody dark and tinkling starshine. We are proud to offer the Stephen W. Cote poetry collection.
