Happy National Poetry Month!

I hope you have many poetry books to enjoy.

If you need a few more, I’m happy to steer you toward two of my own:

Prayer Gardening by Constance Brewer and Kathleen Cassen Mickelson (Kelsay Books, 2023). $20.

How We Learned to Shut Our Own Mouths by Kathleen Cassen Mickelson (Gyroscope Press, 2021). $12.

If you’re interested in hearing various poets read their work from the comfort of your own chair, check out Gyroscope Review’s annual line-up of daily poets’ offerings. They’ll feature a different poet every day during the month of April.

On May 1, I’ll be featuring Luanne Castle in my next conversation with a poet. We’ll discuss her chapbook, Our Wolves, and poetry in general.

In other news, I’m traveling this month, so my next post will be from the road.

Have a great month celebrating poetry!
