Michael Carey Farmer Poet


Raised in New Jersey, Michael Carey wanted to become a poet. While attending the Writer's Workshop in Iowa City, he met and married an Iowa woman and moved to Farragut to help out on her 5th generation family farm. To Michael, this was a rude and magical awakening. Carey combines farming and poetry in a magical way perhaps partly due to his Irish heritage.
