Baskin Cooper is a poet and artist living in Chatham County, North Carolina, where the quiet rhythms of the natural world often guide his work. His creative life spans poetry, sculpture, songwriting, screenwriting, and voice acting, reflecting an abiding interest in how stories, images, and sounds speak to our inner lives. He holds a PhD in psychology and spent formative years in Cork, Ireland, an experience that deepened his attention to folklore, silence, and the spaces where memory meets spirit. His poems have appeared in Verse-Virtual, ONE ART: A Journal of Poetry, Ink & Oak Lit, and others. His debut collection, The Space Between Branches, is currently seeking publication.
