I’ve posted my link, but in the first one, I accidentally didn’t delete the autofill material from the last time I used Mr. Linky. They both lead to the proper post, but if you can delete the miscue, that would be great. Happy Poetry Month!

Excited for the tour! April surprised me this year so I wasn’t quite ready for it. Glad I have great places like SavvyVerseAndWit to help me along.

So, I am trying some poetry this month. Yay. Am linking to your tour on a post about National Poetry month on Thursday and will be reviewing The Day the World Ends:Poems by Ethan Coen later in the month. Thanks for hosting. This is my first time joining in on the fun.

Link is correct but the title is wrong. The little girl pushed send before I was finished.

The idea of a poetry blog tour is a great way for people to get to know each other’s work and thoughts about poetry and writing and what inspires them. Thank you for doing this.

A wonderful & philosophical Poet

16 Leslie April 9, 2012 at 6:24 pm

I don’t read a lot of poetry books and I’m not sure why … so I’d be happy to enter the giveaway to for a chance to try one.

This author has been through a great deal. So happy her trip to Africa gave her back the will to live. Would love to read these poems. Thanks for posting one.

I have to admit the science and math in the poetry book do spook me. Thanks for telling these subjects exist in the poems in a gentle way. I love the title.
