Welcome to Litsy!

I have a lot of those seemingly mundane memories from childhood that are actually not mundane at all.

Obsolescence 💜Kooser

Finished my second book for the #readathon, this lovely book of poetry. I don't usually read poetry and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Any other poetry recs for me?

An autumn poem. 🍂🍁

I really enjoy Kooser and will have to restrain myself from gobbling up all the poems in a sitting. I found this newest collection at Shakespeare & Co. (Missoula), which is a carefully curated shop with lots of small press works and owner recommendations. 🤗

Ted Kooser finds the beauty and sacredness in small, everyday moments. When he speaks of vast things, he relates them to his own human context. He is a wonderful poet. #poetry

When you have a poetry deadline fast approaching but the words aren't coming, you just need to read a little Ted Kooser.
