Occasional Absurdities of Modern Life

Kevin Peterson Author Interview

Night’s Stillness transforms everyday moments, cherished memories, humor, and faith into a heartfelt poetry collection celebrating life’s unexpected beauty. What does the title Night’s Stillness represent to you, particularly in relation to the quiet moments that inspire your writing?

There seem to be fewer quiet moments for people to enjoy. Today’s world is infiltrated with day-to-day “living necessities” that rob us of precious time for thought, reflection, and fostering relationships. Being able to enjoy a special moment for oneself calms the rough seas of Today’s lifestyle.

What role does humor play in your writing, particularly when reflecting on relationships, frustrations, and the occasional absurdities of modern life?

People appear to be taking things more seriously, as happens when they are confronted with additional stress and worry. I try to promote enjoyment through the sharing of humor that exists in life’s simplicity.

How would you describe your poetic voice, and what influences have shaped your conversational and often humorous approach to writing?

Poetry is not merely what we write upon paper; it is the quiet awareness with which we inhabit the world. To “Be Poetic” is to listen closely enough to hear the universe speaking through the mundane.

How has writing poetry influenced the way you observe the world and appreciate experiences that might otherwise seem insignificant?

Through my books and poetry presentations I hope to share “emotions, experiences, and a little humor through poetry.” I promote Be Poetic. Reference my website: www.bepoeticinkansas.com
