All this gorgeousness in my mailbox.

If you only buy one poetry collection this year, let it be this one. I haven't even read it yet, but Jonterri always delivers.

Donna_sBookMinute Beautiful cover. I hope you share a few lines . . . 8y

Ms. Albert. Ms. Alfred. It's the same amount of letters. 😊

My eyes got a little watery on this one. Probably dust in my eye. Or emotions.
