The Story of the Poem Box…

I had the good fortune to take a workshop with Dorianne Laux at ‘Poetry at Round Top’ in Texas. She shared about how she put a box of poetry at the end of her driveway where she shared poems, hers and others. In 2017 I finally put a poem box at the end of my driveway (thanks to Tony Hayden, woodworker). So every year around the anniversary I put one of Dorianne’s poems in to honor her inspiration for all of this. I am so glad to share poetry with all of you. I love what poems can do. How they lift us, carry us, remind us of what truly is important.

So grateful to all of you and the way poetry keeps us connected.
