Head over to Today's Little Ditty
for this week's roundup of poetry love
with Michelle Heidenrich Barnes.
Thanks for hosting, Michelle!
Arriving late tonight, but keeping my promise to show up
every Friday to share 30 poets and books I love
(I'm up to 15 now).
Today I'm featuring poets I've met (or heard speak)
and a favorite book by each poet.

What a great selection of poetry books and lucky you to have heard each of these authors/poets speak and read.
ReplyDeleteRamona, this is a wonderful set of reminders to us that great poetry is but a book away.
