Yep. I’ve already got my next poetry book ready to go. April is such a great month to get me going on it. I found my direction while writing my daily poems with all of you, and then I opened up my folder from the past year since I published Thick & Thin, and I found a trove of verses just waiting to complement what I wrote in April.

I didn’t use every poem from April, and I’ve reordered the ones I did use and interspersed them with older poems, but if you followed me here, you will see some familiar words. Putting together a book of poetry is both like and different from writing poetry. In poetry your string words together. In bookmaking, you’re stringing poems and photos (in this case) together. In both cases, you hope what you end up with means something to someone besides yourself.

I hope my little book will mean something to you.
