One Big Rain: Poems for Rainy Days
One Big Rain: Poems for Rainy Days | Rita Gray
8 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Go on... get wet! Rita Gray has compiled twenty poems about precipitation, each written by well-known poets such as Kyoshi, Eve Merriam, Lilian Moore, and Carl Sandburg. Divided into poems written about rain within each of the four seasons, this compilation offers the reader a chance to revel in the beauty of precipitation and the poetry it inspires. The variety of poems opens the door for discussion of poetic styles, while Ryan O'Rourke's playful, yet sophisticated illustrations will appeal to readers of all ages.

Good job, LA County Libraries. We‘re onto our third day of steady rain—and I haven‘t left the house! The past two nights we‘ve had flood warnings and I‘ve shifted activities onto Zoom instead of in person. Unfortunately today I have to venture out—to the chiropractor and the dentist. Praying for safe roads and sane drivers!

Ruthiella Good luck! 👍 3mo
AnnR Be safe! Here's hoping much of the rain and gusty winds have passed through LA area, as they mostly have where I reside. Well, I'm still hunkering down though, since we keep getting downpours on and off. 3mo
BarbaraJean @AnnR Thank you! We haven‘t gotten much wind at all, it‘s just been raining steadily for almost 48 hours! With the ground so saturated and so much water/flooding on the roads (plus LA drivers in the rain), it‘s worrying to be driving freeways right now. Hope you can continue to stay home and dry! 3mo

Beautiful children‘s poetry volume with a section for each season. These two are my favorites from the fall section.

A thoroughly charming collection of haiku translated by William J Higginson. Tiny but lovely. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I got new glasses today 🤓 and I had to get a new knee brace after suffering for a year because I lost mine in the black hole that is my basement. Dropped off some library books and now off to donate some old coats of ours ✨

ValerieAndBooks A productive Saturday! 7y

While not entirely true(I love summer) I do appreciate the guilt free isolation a cold rainy day affords. 🌬🌧📖

CoveredInRust I am in complete agreement with this! 7y
