Midnight Coffee

ED GEORGE’s debut collection of poetry was written over a period of thirty years. His simple, sensual style captures the search for life’s meaning, and the collection’s power comes from the word not said. A music producer and songwriter, his background is readily apparent in the structure of these poems. Here he explores the impact of friends, family, love, and war, and inter-weaves the influences of popular culture on modern life. His voice is Southern, but with the irony of a generation whose idealism sometimes turned to disillusionment and which now reflects with hard-earned wisdom on the past. George is a Montgomery, Alabama, attorney, and education management consultant who likes to try his hand at poetry and songwriting when he’s not playing softball or tennis.
