Your Free Gift
Up through May 31st, we’re giving our paid subscribers a FREE digital copy of our popular title The Joy of Poetry: How to Keep, Save & Make Your Life with Poems.
The book includes extras like:
• how to keep a poetry journal (this is not just about putting poems in a journal!)
• how to be a poetry buddy
• how to take a poetry dare
Megan Willome’s The Joy of Poetry is not a long book, but it took me longer to read than I expected, because I kept stopping to savor poems and passages, to make note of books mentioned, and to compare Willome's journey into poetry to my own.
The book is many things. An unpretentious, funny, and poignant memoir. A defense of poetry, a response to literature that has touched her life, and a manual on how to write poetry. It’s also the story of a daughter who loses her mother to cancer. The author links these things into a narrative much like that of a novel.
I loved this book. As soon as I finished, I began reading it again.
—David Lee Garrison, author of Playing Bach in the D. C. Metro
