Day 14: #NationalChessDay The story begins with a very brief introduction of young Jake, and his neighbourhood in Harlem: from the preacher in the corner to the old men playing chess and checkers in the streets, “balancing the boards on their knees.” My review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-lAT
Found this book from the 1950s, telling a story of the 1920s. Didn't even try to resist 😂
The other is my new reading journal.

There was no location tag, but this is an adorable bookstore/cafe with a social justice theme in Hyannis MA. Highly recommend if you‘re in the area!

Because April is National Poetry Month, I decided to revisit some of my favorite poems and poets! Who is your favorite poet? I did a presentation as an undergrad once about D.H.
