Billy Collins started Poetry 180 a few years ago: 1 poem a day for every day of the school year. I'd open up class each day with a lovely poem and read it to the kids--not to analyze, but just to enjoy. 🖤🩶🖤

dabbe @Eggs I read his poem \“The Lanyard\“ at my mother\'s memorial service. I was able to get through it (sobbing afterwords), but I could hear moms in the audience gulping and gasping. LOVE his poetry. 🖤🩶🖤 2mo

Well this just happened... Goodreads gave me confetti and everything! 🤪
I set my goal at 180, since that‘s how many books I read in 2018. I‘ve never ever completed a challenge so early before. And a 5 month Netflix binge seems excessive, so I guess I better bump my goal up. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is "Windowgrave" by Eamon Grennan from the anthology, "180 more". I'm intrigued by the idea of leftover angels ?? #litsypoetry365

saresmoore This is wonderful. And it makes me think of one of my favorite passages from @valeriegeary 's 8y
SharonGoforth @saresmoore I'm not familiar with that book - will need to check it out 😊 8y
