julieclair Love this! Happy Birthday @CBee ! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 1d

GingerAntics @CBee I do too. I was thinking about that the other day. I also miss when he was president. Maybe we should bring back the poetry… resistance poetry or something. 1d

CBee @JenlovesJT47 it was actually a bit of a bust, but we‘re going to try and celebrate another day this week 😊 20h

CBee @julieclair thank you ♥️ 20h

CBee @GingerAntics totally! @TheBookHippie mentioned bringing back a poetry day since the person who ran the last one left Litsy. 20h

GingerAntics @CBee they did? Wow. @thebookhippie is my poetry guru! 20h

Gissy Happy belated Birthday 🎂 🎉 @CBee 17h

CBee @GingerAntics yep! Too many “political” posts 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I guess every post is a political post for her cause seriously, I rarely see any. So odd. 16h

CBee @Gissy thanks 😊 16h

The Poets' Corner: The One-And-Only Poetry Book for the Whole Family | John Lithgow

pick

This is a great collection of poetry. It covers so many different poets. It‘s part poetry collection, part biography of the poets, and part autobiography of John Lithgow. It‘s a joy to listen to, and bringing in his friends to read the poems themselves is the real icing on the cake. He has Billy Connolly read the Scottish poets, Irish actors read the Irish poets, Americans throughout. It was just great. I highly recommend this.

GingerAntics This book is like John Lithgow took the list of @TheBookHippie‘s favourite poets, added in more of his own, and then called up his friends to have a poetry party. For being the only Joetry 2022 book of this year, it was the perfect choice. #PoetsCorner #JohnLithgow #Joetry #Joetry2022 @CBee @Chrissyreadit 3y

TheBookHippie Oooooo!!! 3y

CBee Sounds lovely! John Lithgow can do no wrong in my book 😊 3y

Chrissyreadit So this should be an audio book vs book in hand? 3y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I think you‘d enjoy it. 3y

GingerAntics @CBee same! 3y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit it would probably still be lovely in hand, if I hadn‘t been rushing to finish before the end of the day/year, I probably would have done both. The audiobook certainly elevates the experience. 3y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics adding it! 3y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I can‘t wait to see what you think of it. I swear it covered every poet you listed for me way back when (I have it saved on my phone as The Book Hippie Poetry Hour 😂) and then some. This is probably the place I should have started back then… plus it has the added bonus of John Lithgow. 3y

kspenmoll I hope I can find it to listen too. 3y

Poems to Live Your Life By | Chris Riddell

Freedom
Give me the long, straight road before me,
A clear, cold day with a nipping air,
Tall, bare trees to run on beside me,
A heart that is light and free from care.
Then let me go!-I care not whither
My feet may lead, for my spirit shall be
Free as the brook that flows to the river,
Free as the river that flows to the sea.
Olive Runner
@TheBookHippie this one has an ocean!!! 🌊🌊🌊 I think it might be the actual ocean though. 😏

Nute Really like this… “Then let me go!-I care not whither My feet may lead, for my spirit shall be Free…”💜 3y

GingerAntics @Nute isn‘t it great? So much passion and feeling in just that line. 3y

It‘s not about the ocean @TheBookHippie but it is completely accurate about nature.

This beautiful description by Lithgow of himself is poetic in and of itself. It certainly gets you thinking.

A Nature Poem for Every Night of the Year | Jane McMorland Hunter

LOVE THIS!!! @TheBookHippie I see why you recommend him. 💙💙💙
#JaneMcMorlandHuntet #ANaturePoemForEveryNightOfTheYear #Joetry2021

CBee @GingerAntics would you tag me in your poetry (#Joetry 😁😁) posts? I adore poetry but don‘t read enough of it 🤷‍♀️ 5y

GingerAntics @CBee sure! We could all use some joetry!!! 😆 5y

CBee @GingerAntics you know it 😁😂♥️ 5y

GingerAntics @CBee I feel like I should find a very special poem for tomorrow. 5y

CBee @GingerAntics that sounds like a lovely idea! I wish I knew some to suggest. But I know you‘ll find something amazing 😍 5y

GingerAntics @CBee he mentioned today in his address that Irish poets are the best poets, so I guess that‘s a place to start. 5y

CBee @GingerAntics oooo of course!! He mentioned Seamus Heaney (of course I‘d never heard of him 🤦‍♀️). Or Yeats is always a good choice! 5y

CBee @GingerAntics and can I just add that the fact that he knows what poetry is and can quote it is SO DAMN REFRESHING 😅 5y

GingerAntics @CBee I LOVE Heaney!!! I‘ve only read one of his collections, but I‘ve read several other poems online. He has a lovely, straight forward feel about his poems. I‘ve got three of his collections on my wish list for rebuilding my library. I was actually leaning that way. There are so many good choices there. I thought if Biden when I read the poem about a man‘s son dying in a car accident. 5y

CBee @GingerAntics I‘ll be sure to read some ASAP 😁😁 5y

GingerAntics @CBee if you like nature poetry Field Work is perfection. I loved so much of it. That‘s the first of his books I want to get for my library.

Field Work: Poems

GingerAntics @CBee I HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT POEM FOR TOMORROW‘S EXTRA SPECIAL JOETRY POST!!! 5y

CBee @GingerAntics I can‘t wait 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5y

CBee @GingerAntics thank you! I‘m reading about him now ♥️ I do love nature poetry ♥️♥️ 5y

GingerAntics @CBee oh, you‘ll love him!!! He‘s actually written tributes to Wordsworth and Yeats, so it seems obvious who his influences at. (edited) 5y

GingerAntics @CBee RTE (Irish National TV) already used my choice to celebrate Biden‘s win. Maybe I don‘t follow anyone who reads/watches RTE. 🤞🏻 5y

CBee @GingerAntics you should use it anyway! It‘ll be fine - and obvi you have good taste 😁👏🏻 5y

GingerAntics @CBee I don‘t know about that, but it‘s almost like Heaney wrote it for this exact moment, like he knew what this moment in time was going to be like for those crazy Americans across the pond. 5y

CBee @GingerAntics sounds perfect then 🙂 5y

Chrissyreadit Another great thread I missed - I followed your Joetry hash tag to see what it was and read some lovely poetry along the way - and agreed with @CBee I do not read enough poetry- but am now thinking that there have been many poetry posts on Litsy- just not all poetry resonates with me- but I‘m enjoying your picks- so if I follow your poetry I would totally be reading more poetry!!! Plus I have some amazing books I enjoy. 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit welcome to the party!!! 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit would you like me to tag you? 4y

Chrissyreadit Sure!!!! 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit you got it!!! 4y
