Cinfhen 😍 Thanks to Litsy, I‘m appreciating the art form so much more. I especially like today‘s more grittier poets 6y
Cathythoughts Lovely choice ♥️👍🏻 6y
TrishB @Cinfhen I like those too 😁 poetry is pretty much the same as prose - some you‘ll love, some you most definitely won‘t! 6y
merelybookish Me too! Great pick! Are you a podcast person? The Slowdown is hosted by Tracy K. Smith, current.US poet laureate. She reads a poem each day. I just started listening and it's lovely! 6y
TrishB @merelybookish I don‘t usually but that sounds fab! 6y
