Watermark: PLAUDITS

Anne @ Ample Sanity: I keep a mental filing cabinet of certain things and people who cross my path. The top drawer has a label which reads "Deeper Magic". Sort through the files and you will find SB.

China Daily: A Creative Landscape Indicates a Romantic Existence

Aren't we always looking to lend our lives something of a romantic sensibility? So--have you experienced the beauty of artistic representation? People often regret the lack of poetry in their lives. What would happen if you took every incident of your life and expressed it through a picture and a poem? Well, you'll have to savor the sensation yourself. Don't hesitate--throw off your trepidation--once you've tried it, you may just find the romance that's been missing from your life for so long.

[Translation by Rachel. More translations here and here.]

Prairie Mary: Dear SB, you have the most charming comments I've read yet and the only Chinese one I've run across!

Shelley Powers: . . . Clean, bubbly and refreshing.

Dave Pollard: A writer that has helped me in my difficult struggle to learn to pay better attention is Sharon Brogan at Watermark. Her lovely poetry like this piece is always entirely in the moment, and her photography, like the composition reproduced above, mostly of natural things, is exquisite. Go there, be refreshed.

Dave Bonta: SB - sometimes after reading one of your "snapshot" poems, I feel a sudden, inexplicable desire for a cigarette...

selva says:
"SB captures, in image and verse: the wonder and terror of life; the glories of nature which inspire our art; the forces within and without which conspire to tear us down. She paints with what is real and makes it into beauty. If I had one chance to be transformed whole into verse, I would want it to be by her hand."

Theresa Quintanilla: Sharon Brogan is one of my favorite bloggers. Reading her work is a
journey of constant discovery. When I read her postings, everything in
the world falls back into its proper place.

Christian Crumlish [xian]: Any blogger would envy sbpoet for her intelligent, thoughtful readers.

ellipse says: "S B's images and words bring joy to my world."

Chasing Daisy: If I said "poetry and cats" you'd roll your eyes heavenwards wouldn't you? Go see, it's so much more than that.

the heritik: What a wondrous strong voice! . . . Watermark seems sometime a creature parthenogenic, but I know her parents are the heart and the soul, heart and soul always the parent of all great poets, and of all good things in life...
