Welcome to Litsy!

#SchoolSpirit Day 24: My absolute favorite book of #Poems - paired with feta watermelon salad and strawberry mojito (the non-alcoholic mocktail we love).

#HumbleHarvest

The Gratitude List by Laura Foley is a poem in this little book of poems of #Gratitude and hope.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating & Happy Thursday to those who are not. I am grateful for all of you. 🧡🧡🧡

📚 Maybe 6 months thereabouts for The Goldfinch - was too heavy going for me so I finished other books as palate cleanser for each part/section I read.

Thank you for the tag, @TheSpineView

I enjoyed this sweet collection of poems very much indeed. Life sketches in these with or without a message were comforting to me in these final days of this heavy year.

#DivineDecember Day 14: No frills and fancy #bows - just loving the world and all the gratitude and hope it brings. Sampling morsels of poems each day from this collection. What a gift. Poetry has found me again.

One of my reading intentions this year is to read a book of poetry each month. Another intention is to read something around the theme of hope. This is a two-for-one! Such a lovely book with a sampling of poems as well as prompts for reflection.

Found this little gem in target today. Foreword is by Ross Gay, whose essays are eclectic & beautifully written. Makes my heart all warm & tingly. 💓

when I swim in the heaviness of it
something like the slice of the moon will arrive
and with luck I will have you to see it with, the two of us, fools stepping out the backdoor in our pajamas

Just lying on the couch and being happy
Little corners like this
can be picked up and saved
People won't even see that you have them

pots of soup, loaves of home-baked bread,
hours of earnest listening,
all offered with the same voluptuous generosity

Thank you, #NetGalley for giving me a chance to review this #ARC!

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this turned out to be and while isn‘ my favorite collection I really liked the thought and effort that went into the curation here. The reflective pauses were welcome breaks in between the poetry.

How To Love The World seems to be a really good collection so far! I‘m only 20% through and I loved the foreword and the first reflective pause; when was the last time you simply felt thankful for now? For the present moment that allowed you to mention and appreciate every single detail.
