I fell in love with the poetry of Samuel Peralta back in 2009, when he founded a unique literary project called Semaphore.
He joined me on WriteSpa’s BlogTalkRadio show on Thursday, April 24, at 6 PM EST. Very honored.
In the early days of the social network Twitter, while others streamed status updates, Samuel Peralta was one of the first to stream original poetry as @Semaphore. The project became an online phenomenon, with over four million downloads of 300+ poems, acclaimed for their emotive impact and craftsmanship.
Here are some things other people have said about Samuel Peralta’s poetry, which made me feel even better about loving his poems as deeply as I do:
