Since 2010, Arlene Corwin has published twelve books of poetry hefty, 200 pagers all. She is a prolific writer, going from the sublime to the ridiculous, scribbling phantasmagorical ideas and working them until they have the rhythm, rhyme and development that satisfies her. When asked, she says she has no plan, aim or scheme to help her. A jazz musician and longtime yogini, she puts the thought to into free-flow, which then evolves of its own accord. Improvisation she trusts the improvisatory.

About the Book
A Sense of the Ridiculous by Arlene Corwin is a wide-ranging collection of reflective, humorous, and philosophical poems that explore the small moments and curious observations of everyday life. Through wit, candor, and sharp insight, Corwin examines aging, creativity, relationships, culture, and the quirks of the human condition.
Blending playful language with thoughtful reflection, the poems move easily between the ordinary and the profound—finding meaning in everything from daily routines and technology to love, vanity, and mortality. With a voice that is both self-aware and warmly irreverent, Corwin invites readers to laugh, question, and recognize the hidden significance within life’s seemingly trivial details.
At once intimate and universal, A Sense of the Ridiculous celebrates the art of noticing—revealing how humor, curiosity, and honest observation can illuminate the beauty and absurdity of being human.
