About Me
|
C.S. Leaf (1981-) was born only a few miles away from the small community he grew up in located on the northeast coast of Massachusetts where the mouth of the
Merrimack River empties into the Atlantic Ocean. As a young child, his love for the arts was evident. It was always writing or more accurately, words which consumed him most. At the age of twelve, Leaf's poetry was published by "The American Academy of Poetry" and he received invitation to read poetry over the radio. His first collection of poems, "Lost In Hindsight" was published in 2008 by Finishing Line Press. This
collection represents Leaf's youth and is comprised of poems written before he turned eighteen. Soon after turning eighteen, Leaf took a much needed break from writing which allowed him to pursue some of his other interests. During this time he started his career as a fine art dealer and formed his own gallery, Sylvanwillow Fine Art. Upon returning to writing, Leaf returned to the poems of his youth and revised them for today. Before he could leave them behind, he had to perfect them. There was a definite necessity in doing this work. Finishing Line Press selected "Lost In Hindsight" for release in 2008. "Lost in Hindsight" was nominated for the 2008 Dylan Thomas Prize, the 2009 Pulitzer Prize and the 2009 Mass Book Award. Currently, C.S Leaf is attending Goddard College in Vermont, studying under the advisement of Walter E. Butts, Current Poet Laureate of New Hampshire. He lives In Lowell, MA with his wife and two-year old son. Leaf and his wife founded Anamorphy Press and Anarcho-Syndicalist Publications-a small academic letterpress and publisher.
