    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.

    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.

    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!
