Poetry Friday: In My Stead

Look at that lineup! Be still my poetry heart! And they’re all coming to Ohio!

And…

…I will be helping to lead the Casting for Recovery retreat that weekend!

You can hear my sobs and wailing and gnashing of teeth, can’t you? So. Please go in my stead and tell me all about it. More information and registration is here. Go to the live Poetry Unbound interview. Wander the streets and enjoy the typewriter poets. Swoon for me, please. I’m swooning from afar.

I don’t have a poem to share today, just this sad-for-me / happy-for-you news.

Plus, I would be remiss if I didn’t link to Amanda Gorman’s PHENOMENAL poem delivered at the DNC.

Oh, and the poets.org poem of the day today was my kind of call to action.

Rose has this week’s Poetry Friday roundup at Imagine the Possibilities.
