To start your summer off poetically, we’ll be gifting paid subscribers a FREE digital copy of the beautiful and witty Making Peace with Paradise: An Autobiography of a California Girl.
The memoir gives you an inside view of how poet Tania Runyan—author of the popular poetry How-To-Trio—became the person and writer she is. Life may have been hard, but beauty, imagery, and stories carried her along.
Tania’s words will carry you along, too, encouraging you to find unexpected riches in your past and your personal geography.
Watch for this inspiring summer read, coming in July!
Today was a big step for me.
I became a paid subscriber because I’ve been reading a lot of poetry and want to get more into the world of poetry.
I also published my first poem, because I want to learn and out my work out here. I’m so scared on how it’ll be received but I want to write more poetry on substack and I can’t do that if I don’t publish poems. Here it is!
