This week on the Daily Beat: We look into the unconventional creative inspiration of award-winning poet, Ellen Bass.

Today on the Daily Beat, Wednesday January 13, 2015: Driving forces of poetry such as small moments of every day life are what Ellen Bass speaks upon as muses to her poetry. Ellen Bass’s most recent book of poetry, Like a Beggar, was published in April 2014 by Copper Canyon Press. Her previous poetry books include The Human Line (Copper Canyon Press), named a Notable Book by the San Francisco Chronicle, and Mules of Love (BOA Editions), which won the Lambda Literary Award. She co-edited (with Florence Howe) the groundbreaking No More Masks! An Anthology of Poems by Women (Doubleday).
