Brooklyn Poetry: Corbin Sharer

After finding his way to poetry, as many do, through a teacher, Corbin Sharer has drifted in and out of poem writing – usually forced out of it after long periods of writing garbage, then back again after a spark of motivation, commonly another’s work, or alcohol.

Poetry is one of many of his creative pursuits which include photography, painting, music and swearing. During the day he runs a design studio out of Cobble Hill where he also lives with his cat Ed and quite a few plants whose names have never stuck.
