Lies | Doireann Ni Ghriofa
post image

I've been reading and sharing a poem a day in my Instagram stories for #nationalpoetrymonth. It's been fun to reread some favorite poets and discover some new ones. Doireann Ní Ghríofa is one those I was introduced to. I'm now savoring a reread of her book, Lies. Also found an interesting interview with her from a couple years ago: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2021/06/02/history-is-the-throbbing-pulse-an...

@Andrew65 Thank you so much for hosting #AwesomeApril! I haven‘t been great about posting, and I did read other things this week, but I successfully used the Readathon as motivation to jumpstart my poetry reading during #nationalpoetrymonth which had been seriously lagging even though it makes up a big chunk of my April TBR.

Andrew65 Brilliant Well done 👏👏👏 11mo

My #bookspinbingo board for April is ready! It includes 7 volumes of poetry, but it is #nationalpoetrymonth so it seems appropriate… @TheAromaofBooks

I'm not good with poetry. My brain rarely has the patience for it. But I do want to improve and Poetry in America is one of my favorite ways to do that. For #NationalPoetryMonth you can stream all episodes for free at https://www.poetryinamerica.org/tv-series/. If you subscribe all seasons are available on PBS Passport also. And LitHub announced this PiA marathon screening on the World channel, if you have access to that.

Happy Poetry Month!

National Poetry Month: Day 30! 📖❤

This is a most fitting poem for today! 😁

I can't believe it's the end of April today! I've really enjoyed sharing poems with you all this month! 💕

Love: Ten Poems | Pablo Neruda

National Poetry Month: Day 29! 📖❤

Out of the Neruda poems that I've read, this has always been my favorite. In fact I've even used it in a couple different fan fiction stories that I've written in the past! Don't even ask. It's just as cringey as it sounds! 🙊🙈😂

National Poetry Month: Day 28! 📖❤

I think this is the first Millay poem I've highlighted this month! I really love her poems, and she led such an interesting life! If you ever get the chance to read her biography, you should do so because it's utterly fascinating!

KCofKaysville @Branwen I've picked up a book of her selected poetry, but have not read them yet. 2y
