Jimmy Stewart and His Poems | James Stewart

May I share some personal joy? If you watch Riverdale and enjoy Jimmy Stewart, will you let me know if it's a good fit?

He had joined the RAF at the beginning of WWIi before America joined. That is mostly what the movie will be - about his time as a combat pilot. He also filmed The Mortal Storm in 1939, which was about helping a Jewish family escape Berlin. I know how he would react to today's world. He was always the first to fight fascism.

Take Me With You | Andrea Gibson

Tidied off my bedside table and was left with this stack . . . Feels pretty representative of my current reading mood/obsessions.
And RIP Andrea Gibson. What a loss! Having her words flood Instagram this past week has been such a gift. I find it WILD she's from Calais, Maine - the border town closest to me. Proof that amazing art can emerge from anywhere!!

Suet624 Fabulous stack and some of them are so darn pretty! 3w

Lemonade: and Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word | Bob Raczka, Nancy Doniger

A marvelous time, loved as much as the other poetry collection I read by this author. I love the design decision to show the word, the letters falling down I to the other words constructed, on a page with the artist's embellishments, and the poem in standardized formatting on the next page, along with the colour differential, white for the art pages and red for the constructed poem pages. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 An enjoyable compilation of creativity with a very summery cover. If you want something poolside that's as refreshing as your drink of choice, pick this up. 🍋 2mo

What an amazing novel in verse!

First off, I love novels in verse. I always find them to be so creative and moving and this book was no exception.

This is the debut book from the author and I was very impressed. The poems were all well crafted and really hit the mark, which is a tough thing to accomplish.
